@AprilHare,

With over a thousand posts on the forum, I'm sure you know which device you want!... LOL

But on the topic of Oz imports, in case someone is on the same path, I'd like to mention something about the Kindle DX. My lady friend brought in our first DX from the States. After 6 weeks of camping with it, I was so jealous that I wanted one. Now, my experience with Amazon is that they rarely ship electronics outside the States, and when they do, they want your left leg for shipping... But in fact they only charged me twenty bucks, and they shipped via DHL courier... The unit was delivered to me in the middle of the bush.

Hope that's not too off-topic, but I thought that on the subject of mark-ups in Oz, it's pretty sweet that you can get a DX at US prices. No GST and customs duties either.

Wishing you a fun day,

Andy
