Bonjour captaingeorges!
Yes, it is very frustrating being a Canadian - so close and yet so far from having access to the full selection of ebooks our American neighbours enjoy.
I very successfully purchased a Sony PRS-505 thru Ebay, THRILLED when it arrived, but VERY frustrated when stonewalled by Sony's website from ordering eBooks. I emailed Sony, and received (quickly) an email telling me they have no current plans to make their eBooks available to Canadians, but I have lots of options from free websites, of which they included a short list. Yeah, thanks, but I'd like access to a variety like Amazon offers for it's Kindle (tried buying one of those when they were released, when I met my first rejection as a Canadian who just wanted to buy an electronic reader and ebooks). But, I don't give up easily either, so I'll just get a few of those Sony gift cards so that I can load up for our upcoming vacation, someway, somehow.
On an aside - do you sail the Great Lakes? Our business does refrigeration & air conditioning repairs on board several of the lakers. Great people to work for, and an industry I grew up with.
Regards,
Peggy
