Coming to Australia?

There have been rumors that LSI might build a plant in Australia or Hong Kong (or was it Singapore?), which would allow easier (less expensive) distribution to that region of the world. More recently, a print-on-demand book machine has launched efforts in Australia, and LSI appears to have agreements with that company. So, it's possible that publishers that work with LSI might just have reasonable access to the Australian market fairly soon.

Beyond the obvious (making my titles available to a large English-speaking market), it also means I can publish titles specifically for the Australian market (i.e., public domain there, even if still copyright in the US & UK). They wouldn't have direct marketing outside of the Australian market, of course, but would be available there (and could always be shipped...).
