Australians are pretty used to reading American English. I don't know about these days, because I don't buy paperbacks anymore, but a lot of the second hand books I have from the seventies and eighties are in American English.
Basically, apart from books published in Australia, they either come from the UK or the States, and we've grown used to seeing American spelling. As an Australian author it's something I've been debating (with ebooks). Should I use Australian spelling or American spelling, when two thirds of my audience are Americans?
