American ebook protectionism?

I was reading ficbot's post regarding Americans having the 'better deal' when it comes to ebook and the thought came to mind: is this restriction on ebooks really a form of limited protectionism for the American book market?
Ebooks are a booming market yet in large sections of this market only Americans can lay out money for ebooks. This naturally would lead to a ebook market swamped by American books for American tastes - leaving out the rest of the world publishing market.
Too bad if you're an Australian who has written a cracking good read and can't sell it as a ebook because of geographical constraints placed on readers, eh?
