No, that's nothing to do with travelling with an ebook reader. That's simply a matter of regional restrictions on book sales, which are an entirely different matter.

Unless you have a particularly pressing need to buy books while you're travelling, there are no issues here. Buy books when you're at home - an ebook reader will store an effectively unlimited number of books.

The issues you seem to be talking about here are those with 3G communications. The overwhelming majority of devices do not have 3G. You buy books on your PC from an eBook web site, and copy them to the reader via a USB connection. There are no travel issues associated with such devices at all.
