I have written before in other threads about the problems I see with lifting geo-restrictions. What is the right price for a book published in "global" languages like English and Spanish? A price that is appropiate for India and the US, for Spain and for Guatemala? What will happen when shifts in exchange rates suddenly make sellers in countries with devaluing currencies much more competitive?

UK and other countries add on extra sales tax to ebooks, which makes them (in the UK at least) 20% more expensive than they are in America. But not many people bother trying to source them from America to save that money. That's only really worthwhile when you are completely locked out of buying it in your own country.
