The paper book prices seem kind of excessive to me. As in, they should be cheaper by at least about a third or so.
I'd guess it's because Australia is a country with a small population, a long way away from the places where the books are actually printed. It's probably pretty expensive to ship books there, and that cost gets passed on to the customer.
