"buy anywhere, read anywhere"

I got quite excited when I read this phrase thinking that it heralded an end to geographical restrictions.

But re-reading the original article I don't actually see anything that indicates this will be the case. I suspect it will be more of "buy anywhere, read anywhere any books where the geographical rights we hold match the country of your credit card". At least we know it doesn't mean "buy anywhere, read anywhere in the US only" as the UK and Europe are specifically mentioned.
