To play Devil's Advocate for a moment...
Are American books printed in the Queen's English in Aus.? Like S. King? If so, then your books are localized for your market. That costs. We are suddenly comparing McIntosh to Royal Galas. Yeah, they're apples but they're different apples and that changes everything.
And adding insult, that would also mean that there's a good probabilty that the publishing house could also be different. Different cost structures spread over smaller per units would lead to higher pricing. Add to that aggro would be the effect of undermining your own industry to lower your costs. It's all well and good to get the lowest price, we all want a "deal", but at the expense of home grown industry seems a high price to pay indeed.
