Every day which passes intensifies my disappointment with the book situation on the iPad in Australia. The lack of an agreement between Apple and Australian publishers means that we miss out. This is the dark side of the device, where it controls by geographic borders what we have access to. The internet, the FREE internet, is far more useful and valuable in this regard. Apple, publishers and others controlling who can access what and when are diluting the positive impact of the iPad and similar devices.
Pirate books? /grin
i really do not understand why there could be such disapointment with the ipad ,hey the less it performs the better it is for the old print days
The same situation exists (and has existed for some years) with itunes tv series. Much of the content available in the US is not available here until a domestic station picks it up.
