An issue I foresee for Bookworld is that their ebook buyers will buy directly from the Kobo site, and not continue to buy from the Bookworld site.

Also Bookworld is (in the main) dollars dearer than the Kobo site for the same ebook in AUD - so that is sure to become obvious to its prospective purchasers sooner rather than later.

Yes, I imagine there'll be some unintended consequence. There usually are. I don't think there's anything odd about this though: why maintain your own site when you can get your business partner to do it for you?
Sure, buyers may use the Kobo site, but I would be willing to bet you that you find ALL prices on the Kobo site will be identical to the (previously higher) ones on the BookWorld site.
