I'll start things off: Sarah Waters' Fingersmith is apparently only available in the US.
(Correct me if I'm wrong. - It seems peculiar that a English writer can only get ebooks published georestricted to the United States!)
Fingersmith is published in the UK by Virago Press. They're a small imprint of Little, Brown & Co. which is owned by French company Hachette Livre. Perhaps an email to Virago will help you?

In the US the book is published by Riverhead an imprint of Penguin, a British company.

Two European companies involved but they left out their home base ebook markets.
