It's not just that, sometimes an Author just has a deal with a Publisher in a different country. Especially an author like Terry Brooks, that can do better deals for themself, because they are a popular best seller. So it could be totally independent to his US publisher, but involve a clause about no competition.
It may be, that Terry was not very forward thinking, when it came to ebooks and consequences. Perhaps he is tied into some long stupid contract. This can sometimes happen on a by book basis, so not all his books are affected.
