Could somebody recommend me a few Sci-Fi + Fantasy books that are worth buying that are not geo-locked out of Australia? Post-Apocolyptic sub-genre would be most welcomed ! 
Its disappointing to see so many titles Id love to read, geo-locked. Its like the online music industry of 10 years ago. Time to ditch the DRM, and just let the E-book bird fly Publishers. There are a tonne of us that just want to buy books, and we will...if you let us.
Thanks |

Look at Smashwords, too
There are links in this post to some places to check out at the end :-
Really, Amazon has more books, sales etc. - so look for DRM free books there, download and convert to epub - or crack and convert.
The Australian stores that you mention are mostly useless and often more expensive, at least when I bother to look.

Or as others may suggest, change your country to the USA as their books are much cheaper given the Europeans recently set out to rip us off a lot.
The final option of course is the one used by millions of our countrypeople for tv, movies, music etc. that is not available.
