All I wanted from Australian publishers was some indication that they will be bringing their books to the Kindle. Anything would have been good. A short "We're looking into it" to keep me happy.

Instead we've had some press releases about a terrible idea for in store downloading kiosks that will be available sometime next year.

Not enough guys...

So I've changed my Kindle billing address to Disneyland. Suddenly the books I want are available to me. I suppose I should feel slightly guilty but I don't. The author is getting paid and so is the same publisher as if Amazon had sent me a paper book.

Should I feel guilty? Does anyone have the vaguest hint as to what Australian publishers are doing?
