I had my Amazon US account when Amazon Australia was just a gleam in Jeff's eye. In fact, Amazon Australia only became a full store just before Christmas and only introduced Prime here about a month ago. It's still only a pale shadow of the US store. It's early days, and it will take some time to build up, but one article said it is only something like Number 5 in online stores here at the moment. There are many labelling it a big disappointment, but I think this has more to do with unrealistic expectations generated by the media hype which would have had Amazon sending local retailers broke overnight. At the moment there are few compelling reasons to use Amazon Australia, though I do expect that will gradually change.
