Sony PRS505 in Quebec

Salut à vous tous de la belle province.

Sony will not have the Reader in the retail store in Québec.

Why ? the only few reason I can think is :

Their ads campaign are not ready.
Not to forget, the campaign has to be different to reach us.
Which french book to sell
How to connect to buy books
Where to buy those book


and most important, Céline did not put our foot down. :-)


May be Sony does not know were to find free french books to download. We would need to provided them with a list sites.

Ah yes, this problem.
I remember a few years ago, a little argument between a Quebec site having many text book (copyright expired) and a few publishing house in France that were not happy. Something of the effect that the law in France has a longer expiration than in Québec. or something like this.

Does Sony wanted to be caught in this kind of argument.
Are their lawyer loooking at the whole issues ?

Just a few thought.

I need to find a new reader. I miss my EbookMan.
