Yeah, definitely. Pretty much a US to OZ exchange rate differential that would seem, plus the 0.95 price fudge factor.

What will be interesting, too, is if they do the same thing as the dead tree sellers on exchange rate fluctuations. e.g. put prices up as a hedge, and have them not come down again - Kobo dealing with multiple currencies I suppose already, so must be doing some of this sort of thing.

e.g. as the dollar has lost 9c or so recently.
