I like that idea. I like it a lot.

As for Australian-specific ebook stores, that's a good question. I think the following two sites might still work even though the stores have mainly folded now:

http://www.borders.com.au
http://www.angusrobertson.com.au

Also, there's these ones:

http://www.dymocks.com.au
http://www.booktopia.com.au

It also look like there's a google books equivalent for Australia which might be useful going forward. I don't think that used to work for us here:

http://books.google.com.au
caleb72, I could add (in a spoiler) a list of non-continental United States booksellers at the bottom of the second post of the nominations threads for the convenience of members who want to look the information up, starting with the stores you just provided.

Jon, could you provide the names of Canadian & UK stores that you already have?
