aussiebro, the traditional print sellers in Australia (Dymocks, A&R, Borders) do not have a great selection or great prices, although it's improving all the time. There are a lot of other shops around for ebooks - I like Kobo for a general selection and Baen for SF/F. A lot of people like Amazon. If you gave us some genres you like, maybe we can suggest some.
With regards to geographical restrictions, it's usually not the retailers at fault, it's the publishers and in some cases, authors. The contracts are region specific so if the publisher for that region either is not contracted or chooses not to publish an ebook version, then readers in that region can't easily buy them.
