I think that any bookreader you buy in Australia is going to be overpriced in comparison to importing whichever you choose. I would select one which can read ePub files and in my opinion any of the Sony range is good.
I have found that there are too many hassles with Mobi ebooks, with booksellers and DRM issues. As far as conversion is concerned, if there is DRM involved it just gets too complicated unless you are some sort of geek. (no one seems to be able to offer a simple conversion/stripper program without waffling on about python and other unfathomable things).
Avoid Dymocks ebooks, they are far too pricey in comparison to overseas stores.

I have just ordered a Kindle because they now offer wireless download in Australia and they are cheap in comparison to others of comparable ilk.
