Can't even buy it in ebook format in Australia. Cost of paperback in australia: AU$22.99
What is the point of owning an uber awesome ebook reader if I can't buy the blasted ebooks themselves in Australia? Even emporiumbooks.com.au - which sells the Bebook reader - doesn't seem to sell ebooks!!
Dymocks sell ebooks - but a very limited range and never a new release that I want.

If anyone knows of a decent online Australian ebook store, please let me know!

$ 14,84 on Amazon for Kindle, same in Sony's eBook Store.
Huge differences, depending on the formats. The major players clearly dominating the market.
It may make sense, to consider the following calculation:
Amazon Kindle 2 = $ 299.
If you save $ 10 on average per book and read 1 eBook per week, Kindle 2 after half a year will have paid for itself.
You can strip DRM from Amazon's eBooks and -if needed to- can use them on your other reader(s).
That's one of the reasons why I've got various readers. Very often, I simply don't find all eBooks I'd like to purchase in every format.
