THIS IS NOT THE PUBLISHER'S FAULT.
They have a book distribution contract, which says which countries they have the right to distribute the book in. They cannot ignore that contract.
Yes, contracts need to be renegotiated to reflect eBook sales, but you cannot "blame" the publisher for adhering to the terms of the contract that is currently in place.
