onyx and kindle dx are pretty crazily expensive. that sony e-reader only has 6 inch screen but I can't really afford the 9.7 inch which is usually twice the price of 6 inch e-readers

No, unfortunately the 950 is not sold in Canada (it is not sold outside of the U.S., actually). You could try ordering it from the U.S. somehow.
Yes, the large screen readers are pricey, which is why I ended up getting an iPad, which offered much more functionality in a similar price range. I had been debating whether or not to get a large-screen e-ink reader for months, but none of the ones on sale at the time seemed to cut it for me. The M90 actually seems the closest to what I would have wanted. No matter, I am actually really happy with my iPad - yes, I would prefer an e-ink screen, but the added functionality that I got with the iPad makes up for the LCD screen (IMO). The DX was on sale recently, if I recall correctly, for about $300, so you could possibly try to find it for that price, and you could check ebay for older models of the DX, I've seen them go for as low as $200. You wouldn't have as nice a screen, but it wouldn't be a bad solution, I think. iRex had some great models, you could see if you could find one of them used for a low price (DR1000 and DR800), but they might be harder to find.
