This is a problem which should really be addressed. I bought a Sony PRS-300 today and tried to buy a book I've been wanting to read. The Sony eBook library software directs directly into a Dutch book store, which signed a contract with Sony. The book ('Born to Run', Knopf publishing) is not available in the Dutch store but it is in the US store. I really want to buy this book, but I can't. Wrong region and wrong credit card. It's so silly.
What can I do? I tried to find a copy on bittorrent but couldn't find one. I will try to buy this e-book in a US online e-book store and fake my address. Hopefully I can still use my Dutch credit card to make the purchase.
Since I hardly read Dutch books, I'm sure I will encounter these restrictions on a regular base. It's really annoying when you want to buy and read a particular title. Come on, let us buy those e-books worldwide! I have money burning in my pocket.
