indeed 
and fwiw, I always round up... even if something is $127, then it is immediately $130 in my brain |
I round down... way down. If something is $129.99 I round it down to $120. It drives my husband crazy!

The Amazon Kindle 3 is $139.99 + shipping (no free shipping in Canada) AND the charger is an extra $20 (or $10 if you are lucky to notice an offer when ordering) PLUS Amazon does not support logs in Canada or games or leading magazines like New Yorker and charges $8 more for the New York Times subscription than Kobo ...
Oh, and Kindle's eventual support of public library lending also does not apply to Canada.
Plus B&N Nook is not sold or supported in Canada. And Sony only sells the 5" PRS-350 in Canada ... for $199.99.
In point of fact, you get quite a lot of value for Kobo in Canada. |
I have seen the PRS-350 selling at some places lately listed at $178 as a normal (not sale) price here in Canada, which is not much of a reduction but I still thought I'd mention it if anyone was interested.
You do get a lot of value for Kobo in Canada, and their store is great for those who like to read Canadian content as well.
