I don't see how a local Amazon would help in terms of Ebooks ? other products sure but ebooks are quite easily purchased from the US store by Aussies and having a local Amazon won't change the Geo restricion issues right? Thats from a publisher level and Amazon having a local store won't change that so far as I can tell.

Apparently Amazon are looking at which markets to start stores up in and Australia is on the list along with many others hopefully the fact that they have just opened up a local data centre is a good sign but I still don't see how that will help ebook wise.
