Regional Restrictions
It's hard to describe the frustration of trying to buy an ebook and being told that they can't possibly take your money because you're Canadian.

I agree it's frustrating, but the home video game industry has been dealing with this for years. Want that newest greatest game release from Japan, but live in the US? Too bad! DVDs are similarly region-restricted, but they seem to have broader appeal than many games and are more likely to be released here.
I really don't know if this regional restriction is different from the geographical restrictions on ebooks. I know the geo-restrictions are due to where the work is allowed to be sold and by which publisher; no clue why regional restrictions exist.
