Turkey Kobo prices are similar to what printed books cost here. A global price wouldn't really work. Think of Russia, China, India, Africa, Balkans, Turkey... Same prices as USA aren't fair for them.
Australia isn't a richer market, it's just a traditionally price-gouged market. Australians are waking up to this and geo-shopping as a result.
