Australian publishers (and authors who hold the digital rights in their works) need to have a US address, bank account and tax number in order to sell their titles in the Kindle Store. This basically excludes most publishers and authors, other than those that are part of an international group (Random House, HarperCollins et al) – one of the reasons that there is very limited Australian content available on Kindle. There is, however, one option for Australian authors and publishers who want to publish on Kindle. Red Hill Digital offers a distribution service that enables any publisher or author who hold the digital rights to their works to export their books into the leading online stores (Kindle, Soney eBook store, iPhone/Stanza, scribd.com etc). Robert Collings and I set up Red Hill Digital (sister company to Red Hill Publishing) earlier this year to give Australian authors a way to scale the e-barriers that are currently in place with Amazon etc. Re Kindle hitting Australia: now we can buy a Kindle - but if you’re looking for Australian books, you’ll be disappointed.

Premier Barnett should not let a minor thing like democracy stand in the way in his bid to extend trading hours." You elected him and his party to pass laws, this is the implementation of democracy we have, so what is your point here, David? “Damn straight!
