Both Angus and Robertson and Borders have clunky E-Stores. Im into Science Fiction and Fantasy, and being only able to browse by hitting the 'next' button on Borders, with its 4000+ titles seems painful.

Could somebody recommend me a few Sci-Fi + Fantasy books that are worth buying that are not geo-locked out of Australia? Post-Apocolyptic sub-genre would be most welcomed !

Its disappointing to see so many titles Id love to read, geo-locked. Its like the online music industry of 10 years ago. Time to ditch the DRM, and just let the E-book bird fly Publishers. There are a tonne of us that just want to buy books, and we will...if you let us.

Thanks

Look at the WebScription site, for authors from Australia:

http://www.webscription.net/p-723-jo...-couriers.aspx

The first link is for Ford Street Publishing.

Matthew Reilly, publisher of whom recently raised prices almost double in Australia, so his new ebook is about $26.

When you could get 4-5 others for the same price.

So I'd suggest getting that one for free, not paying for it, given the large ripoff.

GeoffC, thank you for the welcome. I lost this link when my computer crashed so I am glad I recieved a notification email.

MrZ, did you find some books to read?

ATDrake, if you are interested there is a Sime Gen Group on FB where the authors and fans meet. https://www.facebook.com/groups/121838917889519/

If you're into Self-published authors, I personally really LOVE Andrea K Host's ebooks
(Smashwords Link)

Turing evolved by David Kitson still needs a throurough editing pass. In the meantime, it's FREE, so if you've some time, yo can download it and see if you can get past the small errors. I did, and must say that the story in itself really is worth it.
