I totally agree. I have actually asked Sony Australia few times about their support for Sony e-readers, and the answer was always "there's no market here for it". My comment would be that there is a market, but there is no supply! I mean people are calling up asking to buy the product, what else do they need?
I ended up buying my iRex Iliad up in Sydney (Dymocks) just because I insisted on brick-and-mortar shop and a local support.
Mind you this was a few years back, but I am not surprised the least that the situation is still the same.
