I do not disagree with you - however the argument with point of sales is bs since the Book Depository sells happily US *and* UK books from whatever location they have; there is no such a thing as BD.uk selling only UK editions or BD.com selling only US editions;
My post is that this point of sale argument is nonsense; we just have to accept that ebooks are different so different rules apply (sell of license instead of sell of product, arbitrary geographical restrictions...) but arguing that Amazon sellsbooks to the UK but not ebooks because of point of sale is ludicrous.
