Geez! And I thought Can$229 was outrageous ... considering it's $169 in the US and the Canadian / US dollar are "close" to par. With a 6" e-ink reader from Kobo at an actual bookstore (and Wal-mart) locally for $149, I am not sure what Sony Canada's game plan is. A Sony bookstore which is inferior to kobobooks and Amazon, and priced significantly higher than Kobo and Kindle ... it is hard to understand where they plan to go in the Canadian market, if anywhere.
