It is crazy but true. Physical books ordered from Amazon in the US are deemed sold in the US even if shipped to (say) the UK, but ebooks ordered from Amazon in the US are deemed sold at your credit card billing address no matter where you may actually be ordering from. So far, ebook retailers in the UK are "shipping" world-wide. Either the law is different in the UK, or US-rights publishers have not yet woken up to what the UK-rights publishers are getting away with.
