Yes, and the stupid thing is you can buy the paper version without restrictions in general. So why not the ebook? They make this artificial distinction that you buy the paper book in the country where the shop is located and you buy the electronic version in the location where you live or where the IP address of your computer is supposed to be or where your credit card is registered or where you say that you are located at that moment or whatever. Different shops use different definitions. I think this is silly and if there would be any logical restriction it should be the location of the shop like for paper books. But as the internet is global geographic restrictions do not make much sense anyway.
