Goodday all,

I've been browsing around here for a couple of days, poking about to learn more, and joined up today to ask a couple of questions to help me decide on my purchase.

My options appear to be the Kindle 3 or the Kobo (Wifi)

Living in Canada, the Kobo would be the simpler option, but it sounds like it needs further development (slow page turning, poor download interface, poor browsing capability for books/etc)

So, I've pretty much decided on a Kindle 3.

I was at the point this evening of actually ordering one, but I got to the ordering pages at Amazon, and discovered that while they are in stock for delivery within the US, there is a 6-8 week delay for delivery to Canada?

Can anyone comment on why that would be so? Is there a different version that is for Canadian use? Or is it merely an issue of shipping delays? I changed the shipping options and it was still showing as being able to deliver in mid January.


My second question would be related to the browser. Is it possible to view websites and forums (such as this forum) on the Kindle 3 over Wifi? I get the impression from what I've read that this is possible.

Can someone provide a screen-shot (or a photo of their kindle screen) while looking at this site??

Many thanks,

NavyShooter
