There are only two brick and mortar book chains here.
Dymocks has no real idea of ebook prices and less of an idea about setting up an appropriate epresence. Collins is only just becoming active on the net in regards to ebooks.
The horse is well and truly out of the stables discountingwise now, with shops such as Kmart and Target offering cheaper DTB prices than the two book store chains.
Australians simply do not want to be ripped off by price gouging international publishers or be only offered a narrow selection simply because we live in Australia.
