Actually this Amazon thing might be a good thing for other bookstores. Since everybody was predicting the demise of all the other bookstores because of Amazon, these bookstores might survive by providing this "niche" literature. Will be interesting though to see gay rape books next to the Iliad...
As for labeling things in Canada, everything i see is in both languages, as anyone would expect in a country with two official languages. You would not want to see cookie box labels in german while in the US right?
I must confess the only places i have seen french along with english in things other than labels is Quebec, New Brunswick and surroundings (including Ottawa). I know there are some pockets of francophones in the prairies so there the usage might be different.
