I think what Lente meant was that it would be much easier to live in the US, at least then it would be possible to buy ebooks from most online shops since they focus on the US market.

The real huge problem with geographic restrictions is that the rights holders/distributors in other countries aren't even selling ebooks they have the rights to.

Speaking from my experience for South Africe there is not ONE ebook store that caters to the country and none of the publishers offer ebooks (at least none that I could track down).
