Prof, I recognise everything that you've said, but Amazon is responsible for the deal it negotiates for Australia with the publishers who own the distribution rights in this region. Those publishers have generally declined the terms of Amazon's deal, which is why many books that are available in the US (even Australian books) aren't available for purchase here.

And the "Girl with the Tattoo" books were written in Europe, and first published in English in Britain. Why do you think it's significant they were available there before they were available in the US?
So they'd prefer to sell fewer books and make less money overall? Seems to be their 21st century idea, in general....
