tedtcf, I have a feeling that a part of the problem is the protectionism of the Canadian publishing industry. As flandroid mentions, the information is available, you just have to look. Almost 2/3s of the books are available to Canadian consumers.
I too am Canadian and I don't understand the problem, but if there is anything I can do to see the books available in a digital manner in Canada I'm up to trying. If a book can be purchased in a store, then it should be purchasable in electronic format.
I wonder if it is a rights issue, such as Indigo/Chapters are the only company that can distribute? Anyone know if this is a possibility?
