That would guarantee that I would go looking for ways around geo restrictions. Those prices are insane. Try lowering them and getting more business. Profits and tax revenue increase.

This is not the same as the US indie bookstore issues. Those differences were far smaller. This is just pure stupidity on the part of the bookstore owners, government, and publishers.
