Does anyone know what I should be doing now, to feed my ebook addiction?
I know us Aussies do not have a reputation for being High brow intellectual reading types, but between drinking beer and chasing Kangaroos I do like a good romance!
Why are they trying to stop me from reading - it is good for my brain??  |
Australian media companies are sheep, they aren't cool Kangaroos at all.
That's basically the reason. At the rate they have moved lots of us might have reached end of lifespan before they have adapted significantly.
Do now?
1. Same as everyone else already does for tv, movies etc. that they won't make available for purchase.
2. You could also check
http://readwithoutpaper.com to see if they have any of what you are looking for.
3. No idea what you like, and I am certainly no romance expert, but there are places like Samhain and Renaissance that cater to at least parts of this genre that you might find some stuff of interest :-
4.
http://www.samhainpublishing.com/ or
http://shop.pageturnereditions.com/S...lts.asp?Cat=24
Or check blogs like Dear Author etc. maybe - they are likely to have mentioned alternative places to buy stuff.
http://dearauthor.com/
You are certainly likely to find many hardcore addicts of similar location with the same problem.
If none of 4 is the sort of thing you are after then
Goto 1.
End if
