HarperCollins doubled the paper price pretty much on some books.

Check out www.inkmesh.com or google the book you are looking for. What format do you need your books in or don't you have a device yet.

Thanks for the link. I've been using ebookprice.info but InkMesh looks to be a better resource.

I usually remove DRM and format-shift where necessary, so price is more important than format. I was just curious as to whether any ebook sites will sell to Australians cheaper than Amazon.

It is silly for Australians to complain about Amazon tacking on an extra 20% if there is no competitive alternative. It would be better to investigate why there isn't more competition. I suspect it is to do with protectionist policies which should be eliminated.
