Bear in mind that there is a mob that sells the Sony PRS-600 locally for AUD$550-ish, so something coming in at around a third of that has its attractions to the locals.

I note that the Oaxis referred-to earlier has wi-fi, but the Kogan does not. Not sure if the display can be rotated, either. I have other questions about it too. But the range of formats is appealing.

I'm still looking for a reader...

Cheers,

From the Kogan website, there seems to be a rotate option. the nook wifi does not have that option.
And it does look a lot like the oaxis reader sans the wifi which was a decent ereader. At AUD 189 and freebies like free shipping, a case and headphones, it seems like a deal.
