Two things that confuse me about it: a lot of books on my wishlist are now showing up as *cheaper* than Amazon US prices when converted to AU$, which isn't the way it usd to be pre-Rakuten; and the prices are now identical to those on the Angus & Robertson website here in Australia, whch *is* in AU$. So ... can anyone please clarify?

Thanks!
I'm not from Aus, but the site should be localised to your currency (AU$) I've also read that Amazon has also localised their site for AU so those prices are also in AU$ which might explain price differences (I know people complained that Amazon suddenly got much more expensive).

For my region Kobo charges in our local currency ZAR.
