I do not think it is North America and Europe. I think it is North America and UK. In Sweden there is no problem buying from US Amazon or UK Amazon. And bookshops by books both from UK and US so they can sell both editions.

So if ebooks works as books it would be no problem for the Sony Bookstore to sell English books to Sweden. It would probably be a problem selling them to UK.
