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.
The company http://www.bongous.com also has a personal shopper service. Basically, they will pay for the product with their own money (US credit Card) and you pay them for the product. Once it is shipped to them, they will forward it to Australia along with any other items you may have purchased in the US. Great time to do this with all the deals on US products you can get online. Why limit yourself to only Sony products.
