Would you mind clarifying this? My understanding is that geo-restrictions are based on the for publishing rights in each country. If you are restricted from purchasing a book from the U.S. Kindle store, that same restriction should apply at any U.S. based ebook retailer (Fictionwise, BoB, B&N...).
Do you not have to work-around this by changing your home country to the U.S. in order to purchase books? If that's true, then how is Amazon more difficult (harsher) than another store?
I'm in the U.S. so for the most part I don't have to deal with it so I may not have a clear understanding of what others outside the U.S. are going through.
