Well, it is not as if publishers did this to be mean. They have a license to distribute a book in a specific geographic area, and they have to enforce that. With audio books it is the same...
It's just, that this system should be updatet for ebooks as fast as possible, although for the life of me I can't see anyone who will want to be first there, as the geographic licensees will want to be compensated for their losses.
