Amazon’s famed e-reader for books has been announced for the rest of the world which means it’s on its way to Australia. This is great news for anyone who wants to bring their books around with them in a digital format.
But what are the costs for Australians buying books in the digital format? We found it out before anyone else last week so we’ll report to you about what you’ll currently have to pay for a digital book, and why that’s different from Americans.
We’ll also give you our opinion on the Wacom Bamboo with touch capability… because we’ve been putting our greasy hamburger-ridden fingers all over it because, well, that’s what we’re supposed to do!
All of that plus news about mobile problems,when Rupert met Google, new types of clouds, and even news on Windows 8 just as Windows 7 prepares to launch!
