Looks like Dymocks will need a very good price to get my $$$.

Thanks again!
The problem with purchasing a Sony for Australians, is that you are very limited in content that can be purchased. You need an American credit card to purchase from Sony's store. There is a range of content available from Fictionwise that is multi format and they have now included Sony's format. However these titles tend to be older work or by unknown authors (some of whom have some good stuff). Of course there is always the classics which are available in any format and FREE and are always well worth reading. For me, the lack of content led to my replacing the Sony with an Iliad which I absolutely love despite it's high price.
