Interesting article about the rise of ebooks in Australia
Age article

Quote:
Consumer interest in e-books has jumped since Borders and Angus & Robertson slipped into voluntary administration, according to industry insiders, suggesting a swift pace of growth in the sector this year.
The article also states that Amazon is #1 and Kobo #2 in the Australian ebook market. I'm not at all surprised.

Kobo has had such a great public profile here being physically sold in bricks and mortar book stores (Borders and A&R - currently in receivership). It is a cut above the other oft much cheaper models sold instore.
