Well I can only speak from personal experience but publishers lost a sale from me very recently due to geographical restrictions. The book I wanted came out listed as US only (from Sony store) and I am in Canada. I tried every other ebook store I could think of, no one had it. I called Sony to ask about getting gift cards or pre paid credit cards but they told me it wouldn't work (not their fault I know). If I wanted this book I had no other choice but to buy the paper book or go to the dark net. The paper book I would need glasses to read (getting older and haven't gone to an eye Dr. yet to check into reading glasses) and besides I didn't buy an ebook reader to collect dust while I read paper books..................and there was a well formatted copy of this book on the internet in less than 9 hours after it was released. Am I proud of being a pirate? Absolutely not! and if I had a choice I would have bought it but it was just too difficult if not impossible to get the ebook legally.
