I can purchase the Sony locally, so that's not a big deal.
I'm torn over which reader to get, and I'm leaning towards the Sony, but trying to find ways to justify the extra cost.
Any Canadians that could help with this decision? I'd appreciate any input.

Here are the details of my Kindle 3G+WiFi with lighted cover.
Additions: I sprung $26 for overnight shipping.
Kindle Lighted Leather Cove
$59.99USD (go with an open-box special & you'll get the cover for less)
Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi
$189.00USD
Item(s) Subtotal: $248.99
Shipping & Handling: $26.97
Total Before Tax: $275.96
Sales Tax: $0.00
Import Fees Deposit $29.88
Total for This Shipment: $305.84USD (this came to about $315CAD)
If you need/want a touch screen, the Sony is the way to go.
If you can live without that, the 3G+WiFi makes the Kindle amazingly versatile.
