I bought 4 books in the Orphan-Serie as an eBook but the newest one can't be bought outside of US or Canada, the same is true for other series. So those restrictions are newly created.
The comparison with video games or DVDs also doesn't really work, because while you may need different hardware most online shops will sell you the software and the hardware you need regardless of your country of origin.

or the older versions had no restrictions in the contract because no one expected them to be ebooks. Newer books probably include an ebook/electronic clause/section.
