We're not talking about price, we're talking about availability.
Unlike some other materials, at the moment geo restrictions for books usually has much more to do with contracts and marketing than prices. Also, a fair amount of the price variations is due to local taxes -- e.g. the UK charges a high VAT rate, but US citizens rarely pay sales taxes on Internet purchases.
