Physical books are not exempt from GST.
The article is yet another attempt by the Australian publishing industry to continue to overcharge for books in Australia.
For example, most US $7.99 paperbacks in the US are over AUD $20 here, if they are the same book and published by an Australian or British publisher (or even just the Australian branch of the publisher). And the USD and AUD are about even in value.
