But that doesn't appear to be an issue for online selling.
You and I, in the UK, can go to "amazon.com" and buy any book we wish from an American publisher. Someone in the US can buy from "amazon.co.uk". "Fictionwise", "Mobipocket", etc, will happily sell you an e-Book no matter where in the world you're located.
