Haha! No, no, in this case buying author copies is a valid option on their site. I can buy my a whole box of my own book for a print-cost of $3.96 each and distribute them myself if I wish. But. There's no printer in Australia. 🙁
But yes, now I know. I'm still going to turn other books into paperbacks too, but it's SO disillusioning that I have to do it this long way.
Perhaps you can target Facebook ads to returning US citizens who visited Australia, Until you figure out who to have a valid option for Aussies.
I can imagine it is all too exciting, turning those pixels into Paper books!
