I'm not sure I understand that decision.
Incidentally, I have determined that I can't buy ebooks from Barnes & Noble in Australia.
Do you happen to know if your ebook was georestricted in Amazon? If it wasn't couldn't you argue that you book now only being available the U.S. amounts to damages?
I know you've mentioned Bulldog Books which is some sort of Australian distributor, but this would only be paperback so your ebook market is still crippled. Additionally, I'm not sure I understand how I would get your book through these guys.
If I were you I would still try to find other ways of getting your ebooks to the world through other distribution services so that you can capitalise on the "buzz". If everything is OK with what Amazon is doing because they're a business, there's no need for you NOT to think exactly the same way. This book afterall is your business.
Keep the publicity alive - make the book and ebook as available as you can and hopefully you can capitalise on it. Personally, I hope you make a huge amount of money from this.
