I wonder what will happen in June 2011, Jehane, when Ingram's Lightning Source (the world's biggest book distributor and it's PoD print and dispatch arm) opens in Australia with reasonably priced books and cheap local shipping.

You see, ordering from an online store at the international price, the order automatically passes to LS and is printed and shipped from the depot cloest to the customer. In the past, this has involved high shipping cost and postal delay Down Under from mases in the US and UK. Next year, that will change.

Traditional publishing in Oz is nose-diving (inflated cover prices haven't helped). Cheaply sold PoD might well accelerate that decline and help produce a happy result for the hard-hit reader in your neck of the woods. Cheers. Neil
