Gosh so the various lending and copyright info related to Amazon Prime stuff eh. Mmmm, no wonder it didn't make sense to me

Australians are treated quite poorly by Amazon - they don't give us our own site, we have to use the US site where everything is stated in USD, including at the final checkout. Rude to say the least.

As to Amazon Prime - it just aint worth it. Here's one review that says most of all you need to know (if you're an Australian) and the title says it all:
“Amazon Prime: What They Don’t Tell You, Or How To Alienate International Customers”

'EH says:I suppose it could be worth it, but only if you live in the US, buy lots of physical goods, read an expensive kindle book and watch a lot of TV. Frankly, that’s not a lot of people'

The main reasons I use Amazon are to get their free ebooks and for price comparisons.

So, it seems to me that if they want to make their 'elending' stuff on books perfectly clear then they need to cater to purchasers by actually stating what they mean.

Of course, if Australians got their own Amazon website then matters such as this would possibly be clearer.
