In my experience eBooks in Australia are a rare thing, but I was pleased to find recently that the ACT Library has a ebook library! http://ebooks.library.act.gov.au/
Has anyone in the ACT tried this out with a ereader (particularly with a Sony Reader, given that it uses Adobe PDF)?
Is anyone familiar with anything else like it in any other Australian library?
It's a real shame it is only available in the ACT...
(The Australian Capital Territory to Australia as is the District of Columbia is to the United States of America, only the ACT is more than 15 times larger and has a population of about 314000, about half the population.)
