That is completely untrue. Citizenship doesn't enter the picture. Any geographic restrictions that might exist are based entirely on the country where you're physically located at the time, not on nationality.
(I'm sure you already knew that, but I thought it should be clarified.

That's what you'd expect. And this is what Penguin told me:

You can no longer purchase ebooks from Penguin unless you reside in the UK.
This is because for some reason the books will not download outside of
the UK.

But as someone else already mentioned, it's where your credit-card's billing address is. It was during the secure payment phase (which is handled by some third party) that my order was denied. So I could have been in the UK at the very moment, I still wouldn't have been able to order this book.
If this situation doesn't change soon I think I will get one of those on-line prepaid credit-cards, I believe they're issued by some UK bank.
