You shouldn't believe everything you read.
The 600 and 900 had problems with screen clarity because there was a touch sensitive layer on top of the eink. The 350/650/950 do NOT have this layer. These readers use an infrared beam, so nothing to read through and muddy the words. In fact, the Kindle 3 and the Sony 350/650/950 use exactly the same screen and have exactly the same clarity.
These new Sonys and the Kindle 3 are the only ones that have the new and improved Pearl screen. The Kobo, Nook, etc are still using the older generation of epaper.
For a Canadian use, I'd strongly recommend something that reads ePubs, because you have a lot more options for where to buy books. Amazon uses your computer IP address to decide where you live. If they don't sell the book you want in Canada, you have to use a VPN to get a US IP address. Your more likely to find a store that will sell to you if you use ePubs. And, of course, we can't forget libraries. I think it's Philadelphia's library that will give you a card for $15.00/year. If your lucky, your local library is one of an increasing number that offer library books for free.
