Greetings from the OZ
Hello everyone,

My wife and I are living in Brisbane (that's in Australia for those of you from the United States of America Land).

Hmm, the state of the e-book??? Thankfully neither the Sony or Amazon offerings are available in Australia and attempting to buy one for use in Australia gets you shot after a number of years NOT being tortured NOT in Guantanamo? Bay!

So lets see what the rest of you are up to. Bye the bye, e-book is a very under developed secor of the internet market, and trying to find SOME ONE who will accept my cash in exchange for their goods has proved...difficult, I have never had so much trouble giving away money in exchange for goods!

Any way this site rules, 'cause it gathers lots of good information into one spot and presents it well.

Hi tasinqld and welcome to Mobileread.

Did you read The Age green guide today? There's some good info about ebooks and ebook readers in Australia.

If you do a little more research, I'm sure you'll find someone in Australia who has what you're looking for...

Love this site.

I live on the Gold Coast in Queensland in Australia and have been reading ebooks on an HPiPaq for the past three years. Was given a Kindle as a gift.
There are also heaps of free books to read.
Welcome, and may The Force be with you and your wife.


No Whispernet, but can read on it. Draw your own conclusions.
