Market conditions between Australia and India are quite different, therefore, so will retail prices generally speaking.
Only recently have people been able to shop across borders and this will affect local businesses in the future. Perhaps, the general economy by means of higher unemployment and increased taxes.

Fbone but that's what doesn't make sense, because our Aus publishers know via their own research that discretionary spending on books has never been 'high' on the list for Australians.
And yet they seem to want to charge more and have less customers, rather than charge a lesser price and have more customers.
They've clung to some sort of logic that really hasn't produced the best financial results for them or for our Aus authors.
