The lesson to be learnt here is "don't update your apps when you're in a foreign country". As Paul notes, this had nothing whatsoever to do with ebook licensing - these were public domain books. Google Books is VERY heavily geographically restricted, even for public domain books; I generally have to use a VPN to download books from it from the UK.
