Any EU resident is able to buy goods or services in any other country of the EU. There is no import: the EU zone is a unique, whole trading zone. In the UK, there was the case of a pub owner showing football games using a Greek network (she had subscribed to the Greek channel, legally). Sky UK tried to sue her, using exclusive football rights in the UK for Sky. Guess what? She won:

"The ECJ said last autumn that national laws that prohibit the import, sale or use of foreign decoder cards were contrary to the freedom to provide services."
"She took her fight for the right to use the cheaper provider to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which ruled in October 2011 that having an exclusive system was "contrary to EU law"."
I wonder why this should not be applicable to ebooks.
