Oh yep I agree.
Avoid Amazon as much as possible and for example use Kobo with the ample volume of discount vouchers that seem to be constantly available.
Although some books on Kobo are dearer they're more than competitive when you use a discount voucher and often cheaper by a country mile depending on the size of the voucher.
Also, changing countries on Kobo is as easy as.
And of course with Kobo having declared that Norfolk Island is it's own country and priced it independently of Aus on a number of books (not all from what I see, and that I think depends on which published version it carries) then freely use that site.
Beware though that while Kobo Norfolk Island carries ebooks that are discountable there but not in Aus (depending on the published version they're carrying) the charge is in USD. Another odd Kobo quirk - to give an Aus island independent country status and then give it USD
