That's their problem, though, and really, they are going to wait for the German language version anyway.
They won't complain that the new novel by Author X is not available in Germany due to geo restrictions.

If someone lives in Australia, and somehow heard of a book that no Australian publisher has picked up yet, not allowing them to buy the book from an American vendor is quite likely to cause frustration and ill-will.

You don't have to live in Australia to experience that frustration. Anywhere outside of the US will suffice, regardless of which language you speak.
