It is really puzzling to me that there would be region restrictions on Zondervan books for Faithlife that don't apply to Amazon.

From what FL shared with us many months ago (and not in this words), HCCP want to strong-arm FL into offering and upholding localized ebook pricing - in local currencies - in the store. Thus HCCP would fully dictate pricing and thus have the chance to maximize their profits. Basically the HCCP people were ready to forego all revenues from non-US customers to force this in a "my way or the highway"-approach. 

I think that many of those region restriction schemes apply to Amazon as well - maybe not always between Canada and the US - and on the other hand, strong-arming Amazon may be a little bit more complicated than doing the same with smaller ebook stores (and the amount of sales they may be willing to let go may accumulate in a few less months than with the FLEB store).

The problem of course is that Zondervan probably gets roughly the same cut whether we buy at Amazon, B&N or FL - so not only they don't care, rather it plays into their hands whenever FL reads "bought this elsewhere cause you weren't selling it". I try to limit my gut reaction to buy a kindle version in such cases - I'd rather carry my dollars to publishers who seem to play nice (like e.g. David C. Cook), and sometimes I bought a used paper copy (which may be the cheapest way to acquire the book, and will not give additional royalties to Z).
