Hello fellow canadian
i'm from victoria and i have a sony reader prs-505. unfortunately, the sony e-book site doesn't allow downloads to people without an american credit card. there's two work-arounds for this: 1. there is a conversion program called convertlit that can convert Microsoft Reader formatted books to HTML format. then there's another program called libprs500 that will convert the HTML format into the lrf format which is what the Sony Reader natively reads. with this solution, you can download e-books from any bookstore that sells e-books in Microsoft Reader format and convert them for use on your sony reader. 2. the other solution is to get someone who lives in the states to purchase gift codes for you to use on the sony connect ebook site.
