I won't even jump through the hoops needed to avoid geo restrictions. I'm not going to argue the ethics of that, simply that it's too much hassle to go through just to read a book.

At the end of the day there's always something else to read.

It's annoying if it's part of a series but even then...
I would bypass georestrictions if need be. That way the author still gets paid. It's not my fault the publisher isn't releasing the eBook where I am. The way I look at it, if there is an eBook elsewhere but not here, then I should be allowed to buy the eBook that exists without bypassing georestrictions.
