howdy fellow aussies..
Solicitus is so right. i was livid the day i read (SMH online) a story much along the same lines, that australians do not want ebooks, or ebook readers, that we all obviously preferred paper books. argh....
was there any mention of the sort of prices we are expected to pay for our pleasure here? especially compared to what seems like the rest of the world?
i shouldn't stand on a soap box here, but it makes me so mad/sad to see a new release hardback at $AU50 or more in some cases.. reading has become a pursuit only the wealthy can afford.
