I am a Canadian too, and just picked up my Sony 505 in Michigan last week.I have already picked up some add on memory because my book is getting so full.
Here are some tips:
When you load the ebook connect software you can claim your 100 free classic books by simply checking the box saying that you are an American.No address or anything is needed-now you can download all 100 of the 'classic' books-(public domain).
On this site there are hundreds of 'classic' books available in lrf format that have been converted by members of the forum.
The Sony connect store has gift cards available to buy, so if you are going to be making a trip State side, stop into a Borders bookstore and get a card. Actually I read somewhere that there is a member of this forum that will buy the cards for international members.
Likewise, when in the States, you can pick up pre-paid credit cards from lot's of places-like any bank and plenty of malls. THese work well on-line as well.
