Therein lies the rub. Those fans in the UK will turn elsewhere if they cannot purchase the ebook. Most times that would mean acquiring the book via file sharing.

The publishing industry (agency 5) seems to stick its head in the sand and pretend that DRM and geographically restricting ebooks will restrict piracy.
