Today I wanted to buy an eBook from eReader.com so that my commutes are no longer boring.

I add the book to my cart and, when I want to pay, I am greeted with the following text:

Warning: The eBook you just added to your cart has geographic rights restrictions. The billing country on your credit card indicates that you do not have the right to purchase this eBook due to rights restrictions by the Publisher of the eBook. Please either remove it from your cart or purchase with a credit card whose billing address is in the USA or Canada.

WTF? Did I travel back in time to, like, 1999? Come on! And you would think they want my money …

Any idea if the Sony bookstore has these stupid restrictions?
