i admit i have downloaded a lot of books illegally over p2p networks, purely because its the only real way to get eBooks in Australia. I would be happy to pay for my eBooks, but as usual, Australian publishers, (like the music and movie industry) are so far behind the 8ball its not funny. They have this stupid notion that eBooks are going to kill their business bla bla bla. The only thing that is going to kill their business is inaction! If they wait to long, people that have and will buy eReaders will figure out that p2p can give them what they want, then it will be to late for legitimate stores to open.
Come on Australian publishers, give us our store!
