Hi Blizz, et al,

like Sabredog, I have no qualms about buying from overseas, and I have bought from bhphotovideo before without problems.

Pioneer computers is based in Oz, and they have what looks to be a rebadged Pocketbook 302 for AUD$499. You can save AUD$100 by buying from overseas, and this is not to be sneezed-at.

Officeworks has the Hanvon n526 for about AUD$400, and I had a quick play with this today, and it is reasonable (I'd rather have a PB 302), but again, buying locally brings a premium.

I wish you well in finding one, and because I have not made up my mind as yet, I'd love to hear how you fare.

Regards,

Michael P
