They call it Amazon, you know? Or the Book Depository, which ships from the UK (I'm on the continent). Or dozens of other stores.
And I, too, am of the opinion that publishers should have the non-exclusive right to sell their version and language world wide. Don't overestimate the demand for "original language" literature; most people will still want a localized, translated version, and the rights for that can still be sold separately. If I, on the other hand, want to read an American author in the original I should be able to do so, even when in Europe.
