I definitely think it is worth buying, especially as in Australia we don't have a choice because there is no Sony Reader and no Nook, let alone the others! I also agree re the import discussion - I think it is only a postponement. It won't be long until the market has to be competitive. I want to buy Tim Winton but he blows my book budget! Thanks, Joanna Thanks Paul. I definitely think it is worth buying, especially as in Australia we don’t have a choice because there is no Sony Reader and no Nook, let alone the others!

As an author living in Australia I despaired at the recent govt backdown on book imports. Hurting the end user with higher prices does not for a good market make. I, and hundreds, even thousands of other readers will simply continue to go offshore to amazon and bookfinder to buy their books. And now, with Kindle (yes please Santa), that whole process just got easier. The end result is less sales in my much-loved-but-expensive local book store. Thanks Joanna (great job you're doing!)
