On a different note and good news for Oz readers. I noticed that WH Smiths in the UK have added the same regional availability functionality that Read Without Paper added recently so at least you can now see if you are able to buy them and most of them are available for Australia.

But I have found that due to good pricing at ReadWithoutPaper the 20% off Oz price at RWP is practically identical to the 30% off UK price at Whsmiths for a number of ebooks I tested so apart from getting an ebook at Whsmiths that RWP doesn't sell there is not really any advantage to buying in the UK anymore.
