That's a very good point.
It's a shame prices for ebooks don't reflect the cost to people of purchasing them - so those in poor countries are continually disadvantaged.
How about a model where I buy a book at European prices, and part of that money goes into a pot to subsidise the purchases of customers in developing countries?
I'd get a buzz out of knowing some of my money was helping someone out, promoting ebooks globally, and making the system fairer.
