Geo-restrictions are massively annoying. However, I also see the problems of the publishing industry and the authors.
What is the right price for a book? A price that fits markets as different as India and the US, Spain and Guatemala?
What will happen when exchange rates shift massively? This even happens with the world's two heavyweight currencies, the Dollar and the Euro. What is supposed to happen when a book is published for about the same price in countries A and B and the currency of country A then depreciates by 40% against the currency of country B? How are distributors in country B supposed to compete?
