I really don't know about Europe/Asia. Here in Brazil, the very scarce e-book base we have *tend* to go with the Kindle. And geographic restrictions weren't too much of an issue, especially considering the e-book users had to buy a geographically restricted device. There are still workarounds...

I just hope B&N chooses to adapt the eReader software to handle ePub. But I won't count very much on it.
