Even B&H in America?

I understand at least a couple of MobileRead people in Oz have bought through B&H, and B&H are generally highly recommended (by fellow photographers in Australia).

I think I saw an MobileRead member who sells a range of devices in Oz (including the Iliad and the Cybook Gen 3). I'll have to go have a look for you.

As for Dymocks...why?

I have bought ebooks from a publisher's UK store (Clive James' Cultural Amnesia - DRM-free and highly recommended by myself) and Mobipocket. I'd have no qualms buying from BooksonBoard or Fictionwise, based on comments made on MobileRead. I'll admit a bias here - I'd rather punch myself in the face until unconscious than again deal with what to me is a feeble-minded, apathetic, blithering sack of incompetent cluelessness that calls itself "Dymocks" (long, multiple stories, sorry). However, even putting that aside, is there any reason you're limiting yourself to a single, Australian ebook seller?

Cheers,
Marc
