Er, I thought the B&N Store and the Nook were U.S.-only? If so, you're probably better off considering the Kindle 3, which definitely has more functions, its keyboard makes some functions such as searching easier, and does have access to a wide range of books. Kobo WiFi isn't as feature-packed, is a tad buggy, and doesn't have the newest Pearl screens. Its store however does have Canadian-exclusive titles, I believe -- it was the first ebook vendor to stock the Giller Prize nominations.

EDIT: I should add that you don't need to have a Kobo WiFi to buy books from KoboBooks. Just need an ereader that supports EPUB.
