Purchasing ebooks in New Zealand

Nyxie · 12-19-2010, 10:22 PM

Hi

My name is Nyxie here and I was wondering where I could possibly buy ebooks for my eReader.

The catch is I'm from New Zealand. I can't access Amazon.

Where can I get them from, aside from Whitcoulls, ebooks, mebooks, and project gutenburg (badly butchered spelling of the website)

Cheers, Nyxix

Try kobobooks as well

Nothing is wrong with Whitcoulls, I just can't find anything to read there. Plus, they have a hinky classification system which means I can't find the SF I want to read. New SF, I mean. I just need more than one website to buy ebooks from.

I'll check out koboreads, then. Thanks!

Cheers, Nyxie

Kobobooks is the star at the moment for AU and I presume NZ Sony owners at the moment. The prices are cheaper than BordersAU/A&R/Whitcoulls and there is a 25%/30%/50% off coupon appearing quite regularly which work with any publishers except Hachette at the moment.

Good to have your new company, Nyxie. If you like, pop into the bookstore section of our own bookshop linked below and drop me a line of any two or three titles that catch your eye. I'd be happy to send them along with our compliments to help kick-start your virtual library. Best wishes. Neil ntmarrATbewrite.net (but use the @ sign)
