From here, good news: “Australians can now use ther iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch as a serious e-book reader after Apple opened the doors to its iBookstore today.”

Bad news: “Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight books cost $12.99 each on the iBookstore, compared to $US8.99 on the US version of the iBookstore and $US8.59 on Amazon’s Kindle.”

I wonder when the strong Australian dollar is actually going to mean something to Apple/distributors? We’ve already stopped buying TV episodes and renting movies from iTunes because of how much more they are charging on the Australian iTunes store compared to what the US pays.
