I don't see those two options as real options. That way you will not make a point. You will only impress the fact that ebooks apparently aren't that important to you. And publishers will be vindicated: see, nobody wants to buy our books (we all know they are
very short-sighted and only see what they want to see...)
I simply refuse to buy a paper book because the publisher made it restricted to another country. It makes it look like the publisher won. Especially if I have to order that book from the States in the first place.
My option would be:
3. Buy the book any way you can.
Civil disobedience I think is the only way to impress the fact that we are not amused with the geographic restrictions, but that we do love ebooks.
