But here's the thing: I've heard waaaaay too many conflicting stories about the B&N Nook, and the (non)trouble with registering it, and having a US billing address attached to the credit card, blah blah blah, and yet I haven't heard a peep about Canadian users of the Sony Daily.
Is that true? Does Sony really not care? And I can just, buy one in the States, port it back, plug it in, register it here (or not, if it's not necessary), and start reading?
Cheers everyone!

Hi, burntbreakfast! Unlike B&N, Sony has an ebookstore specifically for Canadians. They call it "Reader Store Canada". Here is a link to a list of the current bestsellers at the Canadian ebookstore to give you an idea of the selection.

You access the bookstore via special software from Sony called Reader Library. It is sort of like iTunes for ebooks. You then transfer the books to your ereader via USB cable. You won't be able to access the Sony Canadian store wirelessly with the 950 like we can in the US (see Post #7). You should still be able to use Wi-fi to surf the web and access wikipedia. Other posts that I've read suggest that the Sony Canadian ebookstore does not have as large a selection as Kobo does. Hope that helps!
