Hi,
The Kindle does work in Australia. If you want to get a taste of what titles are available (due to copyright restrictions we have a smaller list here) you can download Kindle software that runs on a PC. This will allow you to buy from Amazon and read on your desktop or notebook computer. You can also buy a Kindle machine, although the Australian version comes with a USB cable rather than a regular charger. The 3G Whispernet download service works here too - but not in all parts of the country. You don't need an account with a telco, the download cost is built into the book prices for here. There's a coverage map at the amazon site which shows coverage in much of Tasmania.
