The English speaking world does extend outside the US !
A successful author might well have print editions in NA, Australia and UK and likely ebooks in all three. Rest of world may well see two or more ebook editions sold, mainly, I guess, because of sales not being big enough to bother to check contracts.
Someone was complaining that Penguin has reduced the price of the ebook
Military Dispatches (Penguin Classics) by The Duke of Wellington
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Military-Dis...dp/B00HO11CQO/
in the UK (it's an Open University set book) but not in Spain where the poster was doing the distance learning or in the other EU stores.
Should this be allowed ?
