To be fair, they probably don't have the rights for selling the book outside of the US. Publishing hasn't caught up to the internet age and global economy - contracts for authors are negotiated one country at a time, often. So different publishers (or branches of a single publisher) sell the book in each place. Works ok (especially for publishers, who have legal monopolies and price protections in many countries) for print; not so well for ebooks.
