And once again, just for the record. I don't buy at the shameful price, but it becomes very tricky when you need that book as part of a series, as it isn't just about the book, it is about the other books too.
Like I said before, respect is a two-way street. If you treat me badly, insult my intelligence, try to take unfair advantage of me, why should I engage with you. It is not as if you don't know what you are doing.

Well, the way I see it, you don't actually want to do anything to remedy the situation, either for yourself or in general. You just want to have endless discussions about it. That's fine, but why should people in other countries care about the high book prices in your country? It's something you (Australians) have to tackle among yourselves. If you want to, of course.
Sorry if this seemed a bit harsh. I just don't understand your refusing all the practical solutions (which you have done repeatedly) and continuing to post on the subject at the same time. Looks very like you're just enjoying yourself.
Maybe I'm just too pragmatical a person to understand your viewpoint.
