Hi
I was planning to buy Kindle3 until I was surprised that all the ebooks that I m interested in are not available in Kindle store for Canadian customers !

Not only those books are not available but I have been informed by Amazon support team that Kindle cannot read eBooks from other store.

No doubt that the Kindle is a great gadget but not having the possibility of buying eBooks from other stores is really a big flaw.

In other hands, Kobo seems to accept all eBooks and has also a built in dictionary and a decent battery life which makes me considering buying it.

What are you opinions about Kobo, does it has the same quality as kindle or not ?
