Getting them in Canada has proven to be quite a challenge. The Sony Stores in my city never have any stock and the lead times to order them online was 2-3 weeks.

I finally managed to get my order filled by Dell(.ca) and my reader is in transit (almost 3 week wait)!!

I felt there was no point in even trying to get a Kindle since the wireless functionality would not work here anyway. That's the only advantage I could find over the PRS 505 I ordered.

Hopefully the long lead times don't mean they've stopped production!

All that to say, the more books at the Sony store the better.
