DRMs can be getting rid of these days (so I have heard, I just don't bother with it), prices will change with the acceptance of the eBooks. Geo restrictions might not be an issue in the US but they sure are in the rest of the world.
I agree. Before geographical restrictions were imposed, I was able to read the authors of my choice. If the books were too expensive, I waited until the price came down. That choice has now been taken away.
