Consider that a publisher in the UK or Australia is vastly more likely to advertise a book in the UK or Australia, respectively. (And to get bookshops to order them to put on the shelves, whatnot.)
Book markets in different countries might have other conventions, too - different styles of covers that sell well, different size of books/quality of paper. Different spelling.
Mind, I would vastly prefer having free choice with what ebook edition to buy, just like I have with print books, so I can buy the un-Americanised version of a book by a British author, or pick up the one with the cover I love, or, well, just pick the cheapest I can find.
