Bummer. I'll move them to under don't sell to AU then.

It is curious that they did and now don't. Guess publishers changed things on them, or maybe their location checking was no good?

I was thinking of Booko.com.au. I used to rely on them heaps for printed books, and they appear to include ebooks in their searches now, though quite frankly searching for ebooks isn't very good yet. Still, according to their FAQ, they're open to adding more ebook stores.

Regarding Smashwords, it's only really a venue I use if there's indie works I've read about in a blog review, thought sounded interesting based on posts in MR's Author Self-Promotion forum, or have been recommended to me. Similarly with backlisted works. It's just too hard to find interesting books there if casually browsing or if typing a random title in.
Interesting re:booko. Used for physical books a lot so I'll have to checkout for ebooks. I've used luzme.com and bookant for ebooks, but both seem US/UK orientated. Even the pricing is what is available for US I believe as it is often different to what is present to someone in AU, and some books arn't even available for this location. Calibre book search isn't too bad either, but same issues.

Funny you should say that, I love that old style bookshop look.

Fair enough. Personally the font looks horrid to me: very unclear. Using same font for links and non-link sections is also poor going meaning you have to hover your cursor around to see what you can click. Once you are past the front page the whole design changes too. Truthfully if I was reviewing the design and usability of that landing page I would score it rather low. I think the same effect could be achieved in a much nicer manner.

We'll just have to agree to disagree then. It's nice to have a discussion about different view points which isn't taken personally.

Is that even allowed here? I thought EVERY discussion with opposing views called for mud slinging!

Like right now - just hit 5pm on Thursday here in New Zealand and I'm going to wind down with a glass of wine (and my kobo)
