My own experience agrees with Latinandgreek's. Well, er, I'm not Canadian, but there have been Australian works available at Borders AU/Kobo that weren't available at the Kindle store. I've checked. I also know that Kobo has been making deals with local publishers to get ebook versions into their store, so put would make even more sense for a Canadian-bred product.
There's last year's Canadian Giller Prize as an example. Shortlisted and winning works were available on KoboBooks before anywhere else, and sometimes it was up to several months before Amazon listed a Kindle copy.
I know this is perhaps a relatively minor point in the grand scheme of things, but I just wanted to add my own thoughts on the idea of 'geo-restrictions are the same everywhere', because they're really not.
Er, as for the actual topic, considering your criteria, try a Kindle 3 or a Kobo. I wouldn't suggest a Nook just because it's US-only unless you don't mind workarounds, and Sonys are cool but don't have wifi.
