"Not worth the money" is completely different than "unfair".
Is it fair that Aussies are charged more for a book than Americans? I have no idea. It's simply one of the many "it doesn't matter" factors that go into pricing a book that have ZERO to do with my decision making.
What does the book cost? Am I willing to pay the cost to read the book. End of story. Does not matter how much of the price of the book comes from taxes, tariffs, infrastructure, paying the author, the cover artist, the copy editor, the publisher's executive assistant, the cost of healthcare....or ANYTHING.
All that enters into the equation is "book is offered at a price" -- I decide to pay the price or I don't. It's none of my business whether the publisher's secretary gets free coffee or what the decidable for her prescription copay is.
