They should have gone further and tried to prevent the US publishers from doing an eBook altogether. That would have forced a negotiation to append the contract to either have a single publisher have worldwide eBook rights or force the two publishers with arguable rights to share in each other's profits.

Neither of those solutions would have resulted in geographic restriction... the consumer would have won.
