Yes, but you get Dymocks's
excellent customer service as backup.

The part of me that wraps itself in cynicism like a worn and musty blanket thought this might be the case, but the small little fairy-twinkle gleam I store in the back of my eye for hope and for lighting up at the sound of the Mr. Whippy van has been crushed. Every time Dymocks let loose a press release, a baby kitten dies..

If this is what months of extensive product research brings, I won't be holding my breath for cheaper devices readily available in stores any time soon.

Why didn't I listen to all the wonderful folk here who tried to tell me? Jon, why didn't you try to convince me harder? HarryT, why didn't you berate me for my clear foolishness? Why did I hope? How does a gas barbecue work? Does mutton or lamb taste better when slowcooked? What is your favourite colour? Can these questions ever be answered?
I think I'll buy a Cybook...you know, to console myself.
Ooooh, I think I just heard the Mr Whippy van. ICE CREAM!!!!!! WOOHOO!
Cheers,
Marc (hating Dymocks even more...well, not really. Life's too short for hate)
