Blue Tyson has published some damning reports about how the big publishing companies are ripping off customers here in Australia compared to overseas markets.

You might want to read those on Teleread and here on Mobileread.
You should try Canada! Until a stink was raised so that they removed the prices there's always been two prices on the cover. US/Canada. Canadian pricing is usually $2-3 more than US. Ok, except it's the same damn book! Same production run. Given the relative sizes of the markets, our part of the production run could be taken out of the overs!

That markup is pure profit and built into the product. Major aggro.
