Thanks for the reply - glad (not really) that we seem to agree. Some of the regional restrictions I understand as there seem to be different publishing dates (although I still can get them in country of first published and shipped).
Not sure why the regional restrictions though. I have now bitten the bullet and actually bought some books (e-) from a uk seller - the prices still hurt as they are still more expensive and very close to the hardcover but I JUST HAD TO HAVE those books. Naughty me.
Maybe one day we can get the books for a fair price, the current pricing in Australia just invites to use pirated books (so far I have resisted as I do actually want to pay - silly me). But as I don't think that the authors get the extra money - sorry Australian sellers, not a dime from me.
