Elfwreck - However, the sale location for an ebook is where you are. Hence, your own country's law applies. And UK law is quite plain that for an ebook to be authorised, you must have acquired it via a method which the copyright holder allows*. This includes complying with all sale restrictions, including geo restrictions.
(*Remembering Exhaustion of Rights, but that dosn't apply to new ebooks ofc)
The restrictions on the page are not "will not sell to IP range", they are "only available to people in countries X, Y and Z". If you are not, the store simply cannot sell you an authorised copy.
I don't make the law, don't complain to me it's unreasonable!
PeteS - Regardless if they do or not, as long as you pay it in good faith you are not liable for the tax.
