Should be easy enough to get the ibooks app even if you aren't in the US. Just need to create a US itunes account and then you can 'shop' at the US app store. I've done this a number of times with my iphone apps.

The down side is, you now have 2 itunes accounts and you can't update software from one account while logged into the other account (though apps from all accounts display on the same 'page' in itunes and work fine on your device (regardless of which account is synced with the device).

Of course, actually buying books from the US store becomes difficult. You need a credit card with US address or a US itunes gift card.

For me (I'm in Canada), I don't plan on buying any books from Apple. And now that it is confirmed you can load non drm epub books, I am likely all in on the ipad.
