I am finding less and less reason to buy from the US and UK now that Borders AU have opened their ebookstore as their prices are currently better than the US and UK on some titles.
As an example the brand-new Random House thriller The Ocean Dark was AU$5.95 at Borders AU, GBP4.40(AU$9) at WH Smiths in UK and US$7.19(AU$8) at BooksOnBoard.
It also depends on what books you want to read though. I still have some credit at BoB and Sony but I'll save that for specials I think.
