Hi all

Back when I used to regularly buy pbooks a typical price in Australia for a new release hardback novel was $45 (AUD). TPB was about $20-25 and MMPB $12-18 often depending on exchange rate. ebook prices are usually based on the pbook price - so if it's a new release in hardback only, the ebook will be around the same price. Australian-published works would be in the same range. For the past few years AUD has been around parity with the USD; in fact up until about a month ago it was higher for a couple of years. And they wonder why everyone buys their books from Amazon or Book Depository.
