I am quite happy to stick to my amazon.com account than pay higher prices for ebooks. The divide is shrinking but not by much.
The issue of geographic restrictions is still a significant problem here as well. Books (both dead tree and digital) movies, TV shows and music are all caught up in this anachronistic and outdated method of distribution.
I have no qualms in buying an item overseas than pay up to triple the price for that same item sold in a shop or online locally or to be able to buy items not available here.
