Yes, I thought about the main markets. Selling English books to countries like Norway and Sweden would probably not matter if everybody was allowed to sell to such small countries. But since the number of customers are small for English books they will not have any incentive to change the current system for these countries.
There might be a problem if you belong to EU. If you can buy the american edition you are probably allowed to sell it to UK also if you are en EU country.
