Hi:

Came here to read opinions on what was a good e-reader for Canada might be.

I wanted a Kindle until I found that Amazon.CA doesn't have e-books so I will probably get a Kobo which isn't too bad as it doesn't have the back lighting (which emits blue light & interferes with the sleep process). And, you can check out book from your local library; can't do that with a Kindle.

With regard to Kindle not coming to Canada, yet (although you can purchase a U.S. Kindle), they will come, but they haven't yet been able to hash out a deal they are happy with, with a provider (i.e. Bell etc.).

Not sure I understand all the file formats so I hope it's not a mistake to get a Kobo. Sony would be another option (no back lighting), but their only pink one doesn't have wifi lol. So, it's out.

If I had the money, I'd get a Blackberry Playbook! That would be a nice toy/reader to have
