Thanks for the info about the Kobo store charging in AUD. It would be interesting to know if they are applying current exchange rates or not. I have not bought from them because of the lack of a shopping cart. If you read my post, you will find I said that Kobo have to pay credit card fees for every individual transaction and not that I have to pay them. The vendor pays a credit card percentage fee - usually 1-2%. I would have thought that a big enough incentive for them to implement a shopping cart for multiple item purchases.

Until they get a shopping cart on their site, I'll buy my ebooks from other easier sources.
