Thanks for getting me interested also. Now I know even more about what is not available in Australia. Google Currents is not even listed in The Android Market here. My experience with Press Reader, which was pre-installed on my tablet, is also negative. I signed up for an account and then tried to download the current edition of my favourite daily paper. This resulted in an error message which said: "Current content is prohibited to read/download from your current location." The same paper prominently advertises its iPad app.
