One of the biggest problems faced by eReaders in Australia is the lack of legitimate means of buying eBooks. But JD at Bookbee has told us all that Pan Macmillian has launched an Australian eBook store, although it’s a little lacking in the user friendly stakes.
The books are available in PDF, Mobipocket, Microsoft reader and ePub formats, and sit between the $15-$25 mark, which is obscenely overpriced compared to the likes of Amazon, even factoring in the US to Aussie dollar exchange rate. But it is, at the very least, a step in the right direction – at least until Apple’s eBook manager starts and blows this attempt out of the water.
