Ok, this is going to be lengthy (just like searching Amazon's site!). Notice the parts in bold:
On Amazon:
Search, Annotations, Dictionary, and Wikipedia
Search
Kindle's keyboard makes it easy to search within an ebook, across your library, in the Kindle Store, or even the Web. To use the Search feature, simply type in a word or phrase you're looking for, and Kindle finds every instance in your ebook or across your Kindle library. Looking for the first reference of a character in your ebook? Simply type in the name and search. You can extend your search to the Kindle Store to find related titles you may be interested in. Explore even further by searching Wikipedia and the Web. Web access is not currently available for some customers outside the U.S. Check Your Country

Sending Personal Documents to Kindle
Kindle makes it easy to take your personal documents with you. Each Kindle has a unique and customizable e-mail address you can set on your Manage Your Kindle page. You can send unprotected Microsoft Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI files to your Kindle e-mail address.
To access your personal documents on your Kindle, send attachments to your Kindle's e-mail address ("name"@free.kindle.com). The files will be sent to your Kindle via the Wi-Fi connection and also to the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.com account at no charge.

Thus it is fairly clear that Canadians can't access that service. And they told me that on the phone too. She said "I don't like to say 'never' ..."
So I am back to my original request .... (oh heck, please just read the first post in this thread again!
