I'm inside the EU (Ireland) and "reasonably priced books in English aren't easy to find" unless you're buying pre-owned books and in most cases I can't find what I'm looking for specially when it comes to tech books. As an island, we're very much dependent on Amazon.co.uk for books.
They don't have everything when it comes to tech or more niche material, but Kenny's (https://www.kennys.ie/) is very good and offers free (and often fast) shipping.

Probably a bit nitpicky, but there is at least one place outside the US/EU where it is very easy to find books in English.

I know of at least two off the top of my head: UK and Canada.
Goddammit, I had no idea Amazon owned Book Depository. Their service was great and it was the best way I had to buy technical books when i lived in Brazil.

Britain, Australia, and India would be my guesses. And Canada if we haven’t annexed it yet.
I wonder if Goodreads is next under the guillotine.
