Thanks to taming and MikeLC for your replies. I am also considering a Nook and if I go that way, I am thinking that I can download books from anywhere to my PC and then transfer them via Calibre to the ereader ( Nook or Kobo ) so I don't really have to have anything to do with Barnes & Noble in the USA. I could buy bopoks from Chapters and transfer them to the Nook or the Kobo. Also I could borrow ePub books from the library and transfer them to my Nook or Kobo in the same way. If those assumptions are correct , either ereader is in the running, isn't it?

The only pitfall I can see is if the Nook packs it in, I have to return it to the USA for repairs and am not sure if the warranty spans the border to Canada. On the other hand the Kobo is fully supported in Canada.

What I like about the Nook over the Kobo is the ability to play MP3's while reading.

Regards,
Bill
