I really feel for you guys. |
You do have to remember that when the US electrons get to Australia, they will be upside-down of course. There is quite an overhead for Australian servers to flip these prior to selling them.
Seriously, the geographical restrictions on all books (including e-books) is a PITA and one we've all had cause to bemoan in the past. Personally, I don't understand it; neither why books are released on different dates, nor why costs can vary so much (the second of these particularly for e-books).
