Geo-restrictions are a freedom to read issue. The geo-restrictions you are referring to are IMHO pretty trivial compared to government censorship, but there's enough of a family resemblance that it all needs to end.

Geo-restrictions is not a freedom to read issue. I know why it's there and it makes sense. But the problem comes when a book you want to read is not available as an eBook in your country but is available in a different country.
Take (for example) the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler. Not all of the eBooks are available in the US. But the missing eBooks in the series are available in the UK. If you don't know how to purchase UK eBooks in the US, the only other choice is looking on the net for them.
