Drive-by commenting: It's completely legal for American citizens to import one copy of a book published overseas per household, as I learned in the days before Scholastic started releasing Harry Potter at the same time as Bloomsbury. I don't know about other countries, and I'm not sure how the law applies to e-books, but theoretically an e-book should be the same as a book for legal purposes, as things stand currently?
[Though I agree with people who say that purchasing an ebook isn't the same as purchasing a book: it's purchasing a (limited-time) license.]
