Shopping in India when the eBook is available in US is not the same as shopping in India or UK to buy an eBook not available in the US. In the first place, it's breaking geo-restrictions to save money. The second is breaking geo-restrictions to buy the eBook so the author can get paid because the eBook is not available in the US.

I don't mind someone breaking geo-restrictions to be able to pay the author.
