Amazon opened its Aus website maybe 2 years ago now, and it's still as lousy a site today as it was then.
Instead of creating anything particular for the Aus site, they merely removed all the bits and pieces off the US site that didn't apply to Aus. And that was heaps that got removed.
The only advantage as far as I'm concerned is that the prices are now shown in AUD and that's the amount that I pay. Previously the amount shown was USD and then Amazon determined the exchange rate.
Occasionally they especially highlight Aus authors, and there is a category to find them, but you can't break that search down into genres. So if I want to select Aus authors I must view all genres instead of choose the genre/s that I want.
