I live in Canada and have a Kindle 3G.

I sprung for the express shipping and the Kindle arrived in ONE DAY. (extra $25 or so in shipping - the "impatience tax")

I would strongly suggest the K3 over the Kobo Reader.
Book selection on Amazon's Kindle store is FAR better than the Kobo store and you've already hit on the website usability issues.

You can still purchase books from Kobo to use on the Kindle but may have to convert books to a Kindle-compatible format, something not discussed on this forum for legal reasons.
