In two days Amazon is going to permanently ban Australians from shopping at its US and other international stores (long story short, over a tax dispute). Anyone resident here is going to be restricted to amazon.com.au from now on.
I'm yet to find any info at all on what's going to happen to those of us who make our ebook purchases from the US store. does anyone know if e-books from the US are available through the Australian kindle store automatically? What about for self-publishers? Will Aussie sellers be able to sell their works to international readers?
I've googled and googled and I can't find any answers. It's honestly making me a bit worried. I don't know if the self publishing contingent have discussed this before or not, but at the moment it feels like a nation of 25 million people are about to be left out in the dark. I'm someone who's taken to buying ebooks anytime and from anywhere, and if I suddenly can't from Sunday I'll be miffed.
