Sadly the situation is a bit similar here, except that prices can be much higher, even fifteen to nineteen dollars. My library is very slowly improving its ebook collection, but still most of the new titles are churn-factory crime and romance type titles, with not much to interest me - there's virtually no Australian FSF or YA in there at all.
Imported print books are often cheaper than ebooks, even brand new, but I find it increasingly difficult to handle and hold medium to large books, and I read three or four books a week at least. I'm mostly getting print library books and trying to deal with the pain and difficulty, but it's getting worse. Not sure how this is all going to pan out.
