Good to have your company, Kat. There are a whole bunch of members here from Down Under who seem pretty happy with a whole range of readers. There's also a Kobo-dedicated forum to check out impartial reviews. Must admit, if I was in Oz rather than Europe and wasn't entirely happy with my Sony 505, I think Kobo would be top of my list. My tech partner in Canada has checked out several devices first hand and opted for Kobo. Good luck. Neil
