I agree with those who think it is immoral to charge some people 50% more than others. Our customers wouldn't stand for it (they compare prices in various countries), so why should I? Why should buying from another country be immoral and price shopping within the same city or country not be? Makes no sense to me, that is what the internet does best. I also realize that our local market is not attractive for English language book sellers. So I just take the few minor steps and get my books from the US stores. If I took the principled stand of some here "they don't want to sell to me at a decent price then I just won't buy it" then I wouldn't be reading many of the books I want to get. Now that would be kicking myself to spite others.
