I think local publishers weren't concerned about people walking into bookstores all over the world as that would be a fairly small amount of lost revenue.

However, what surprises me is that sites like Amazon and Book Depot etc.. have already made it possible to ignore local bookstores/publishers altogether. Geographic restrictions make just as much sense to me purchasing paper books from Amazon as it does buying ebooks from Amazon.

Seems bizarre to me.
