A rather scary morning! I just looked on the net to see how much for a new Kobo touch - and found that they just don't seem to be on sale in Australia. The Borders/Angus & Robertson debacle has meant that both those outlets are "out of stock" (probably permanently) and there doesn't seem to be another outlet. I did various Google searches for "ebook readers" in Australia and came up with a very poor showing. This is ridiculous! We probably aren't "allowed" to order from Kobo in Canada and no-one seems to have any here. Sony isn't much better, I guess there are still Kindles but I wanted EPUB.
Of course, this means even higher prices for what little stock is around.
