Publisher A has the rights to sell in the US, they do sell paper books and ebooks.
Publisher B has the rights to sell in Europe, they sell only paper books, as they are afraid of ebooks.

Now, publisher A would like to sell ebooks in Europe, of course, and people in Europe are willing to buy ebooks from publisher A, but publisher B will complain, fight and prevent this to happen, as only they have the rights to sell in Europe. So, if you can't buy ebooks from publisher A, publisher B is to blame
