I’ve been hanging out for more about the Bebook as it is looking like the only open content model we are going to see in Australia for the present. For a country of avid readers and techno junkies we are really falling behind in the ebook stakes! Or perhaps that’s the reason - why give us ebook readers when p-book sales are doing so well?
I am going to have to get one or buy a larger house for my books!
