Is the Amazon Kindle worth getting in Australia?

The new Kindle 2.0 is very tempting and Amazon doesn’t look set to release it overseas anytime soon.

Has anyone else attempted using Kindle (first gen/second gen) in Australia? I would like to know what are some of the problems encountered and if it’s worth the trouble.

After looking at all the functions and resources available on the Kindle supplied by Amazon in the USA, including downloading of books, magazines etc, is the equivalent available in Australia. If so, where from?, if not, will it be in the future? and is there a approximate date of release?

I bought the kindle, and I know that only in the US, they get internet access. In Australia we only get Wikipedia. Does anyone know if other websites will be available in Australia any time soon.
