Hey all!
I'm an Aussie writer living in sunny Queensland. Even though my novel, Last Birds, is available as an ebook in 9 formats, I'm actually new to all this. Probably because I come from the generation that believed microwave ovens would make you sterile! But hey, I'm over that now. I have a Bebook e-reader (which I think has other names you guys may be more familiar with) and I'm having great fun e-reading. What I'm most looking forward to here is learning stuff from all you knowledgeable folk. A steep learning curve, I know, but that makes it all the more exciting. TIA

Great to see you here, Andrew.

And *Last Birds* is one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. Congratulations on a fine piece of fiction. You should really give us a buying link or two in a signature line.

Good luck with the BeBook. It seems pretty popular in Oz. Many Australian members here, by the way ... many bemoaning the fact that their country is something of a late-comer to the ebook revolution and still seems to be excluded from major ebook stores for geographical reasons.

What's your take on how things might pick up speed Down Under?

Cheers. Neil

Welcome to MR, Andrew We do love to support authors who actively participate in our forums. Have you found the Writers' Corner yet?

You can even explore using Calibre and Kovid, the creator, frequents the forums here. We even have a dedicated Calibre forum.

Did you know that MR has free ebooks? They have been beautifully handcrafted by some very dedicated MR members. (I believe that they are better formatted than Google books.)

I believe your Reader uses Mobi / prc format and ePub format

Free ebook sites

feedbooks.com
manybooks.net

Free and for purchase ebooks

smashwords.com
baen.com
Plus Baen has a great free library

My signature has a link to feedbooks listing a few of our MR authors and their books there. Also, I have many of our MR authors listed in my signature whose books are on smashwords.
Have fun exploring the forums and ask if you have any questions.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. And the avalanche of new information. I will be exploring MR over the next week or so and checking out all your suggestions.
