Should I buy a Sony for Australia while in U.S.?
I've seen the ereaders around for 199-299 (USD) while on holiday in Vegas. The guy at the shop said I wouldn't be able to get books in Australia for it.
Is this true? Doesn't seem much point if I can't get the books. |

Most Sony readers support ePub now (I believe the PRS-500 still doesn't unless you send it off to Sony for an upgrade). That means you can buy books from a large number of sellers including Books on Board, Fictionwise, Powell's, Waterstones, WHSmith and ReadWithoutPaper.com. You can also download public domain books from MobileRead, Google Books and a bunch of other sites I can't think of right now.
