Hi frangapanni. I am in Australia too and a new user of the Kindle. I also have an IPad too, for the books that the Kindle can't do though so far I haven't strayed from Amazon. I am very happy with the Kindle and bore everyone to death at work singing its praises. I find Amazon easily fulfils my needs for purchasing books but then I am a long-time Amazon customer and have bought their books for years despite the killer delivery charges. I find it annoying when some books are geographically restricted but, from my research, the same ebooks are not available at Borders or Angus & Robertson either. My son also has a Kindle. He is more adventurous than I am and has sought out the books on Baen Books and downloaded Calibre. A work colleague has a Sony. It is a lovely e-reader too, though more expensive than the Kindle. She can buy books at Borders or Angus & Roberson. They have recently dropped their prices on some of their books so they are more or less at Amazon prices now.
