Hi RobertB,
I emailed you before I found the forum to ask about the sales to Australia. I think the reason you are getting lots of queries from Aus is that many of the devices are not availble and thos that are are very expensive. The Kindle is not sold by Amazon as the mobile service isn't supported by the phone system, the Illiad is sold by one of the bookstores but it cost a heap ($AU899, about $US950) and Sony hasn't distributed their reader here either.

I don't know anything about distributors but I do hope you find one soon.

As for postage, most of us are willing to pay it as at the moment books and other things are often 125%-->250% of the US Price after shipping when bought in retail stores.
