When Sony starts selling readers in any given country they are now on the "from" not the "to" side of the equation in that country, so the store (whether their own or their partners') can only sell books they have the rights to in that territory.

But that only matters for UK. Why is this a problem for Sony in countries were English is not the main language? What is the problem for Sony to sell English language books to Sweden or Italy and so on?
