Why can't they change their rules/regulations (or whatever they call them) to view ebooks the same as printed books as far as the point of sale goes. If the point of sale is viewed as the location of the shop and not the buyer's PC they wouldn't have to negotiate any extra contracts for worldwide distribution.
Just like when purchasing a paper book the buyer can then decide where to buy from. If it works out cheaper to import a book from Amazon I order from them. No problems whatsoever in getting a physical book send to me. Why should an ebook be any different?
That way it might be a big incentive for the local distributors to get their heads out of the sand and start offering competitively priced ebook sales in the region they have the rights to - otherwise the buyers will go elsewhere where the product is actually offered.
