I'd advise Australian and New Zealand customers to consider looking around before you return the Kobo. As I mentioned on another discussion here, I learned on Amazon's US web site that while the Kindle is sold to those of us here in Canada, many titles available in the US aren't available as ebooks through Amazon to Canadian customers.
On the same discussion, one American customer was complaining that a ebook available through the Amazon.UK site wasn't available to her because she's American. Different countries have different copyright laws, there are publishing restrictions blah, blah.
The Amazon discussion is here:
