I ordered a K3 for my wife for Christmas, having it shipped to a package broker just across the border.

I guess I didn't really read enough before ordering it, it was recommended as the way to go because if its speed. Now I find that they've improved the speed of the Nook to acceptable levels.

Which eReader is going to be best in Canada? I know Amazon has support for Canadian customers, for the Nook I am unsure but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

What I am wondering about now is the book availability and long term prices for each.

As I've read, the Nook has a wider selection of sources for book, whereas the Kindle is tied to Amazon. I'm not sure I fully grasp the concept of epub and the free books that are available through Google. Can these be put a on Kindle via this "calibre"?, either the free ones or buying them from another source? How difficult is that to do, if it can be done. Does the Nook make it easier to get the content?

I'm left wondering if I made the right decision seeing as how the Nook seems to have a wider selection and more access to free books. Do I return my Amazon order and get a Nook?
