Thanks. I have not seen this mentioned in the various topics that I have read.

So how is the point of sale different when I press a button on my computer in Australia to buy a paper book available from Amazon in the US and when I press a button on my computer in Australia to buy an e-book available from Amazon in the US?

The person pressing the button is still in Australia. The book is still available in the US. The Warehouse shipping the paper book is in the US. The server farm housing the e-book is probably in the US.
