My colleagues often ask me about my Kindle, as lately I have returned to borrowing more and more library books. I check and look, and often only buy books on Amazon on special, sometimes they can be discounted for a week or two. I recommend that they hold off buying an e-reader if their family member is happy to still borrow books.
It would be better to have a fairer pricing system. Don't forget that you can still probably buy the books for cheaper through the Book Depositary and get them sent to NZ for free. Do I feel sorry for Kiwi booksellers - sure, but it has been a long time since I had bought books. Once the prices went up to NZ$40, it got way out of my price range for affordability.
