I just saw something funny
The Australian google book store has been working now for a few weeks and google has partnered up with a number of local book stores.
see here
http://books.google.com.au/ebooks
Dymocks say they are partners with google books (Australia). Just having a look at both sites and the price for the books
"The Slap" Dymocks $24.99.... Google $9.18
"the Distant Hours" $23.99 .... Google $9.18
so how does this so callled partnership work?..
