Question Buying Kindle in Canada-from Store or from Amazon

Hi. I have a question. I had decided to buy a Kindle 3G directly from Amazon due to the $40 difference in their price and the Staples store in Ontario, Canada. Now Staples has them on sale for $209. My question, I know the International model from Amazon has a browser that can connect to the web via 3G anywhere there is a signal. The salesman at Staples said I can only connect to the Amazon store with it. I know the one I buy from Amazon would have the webkit browser. Is there a chance that the ones sold in Canada are crippled and don't have the browser? Or does the salesman not know what he's talking about? I'd hate to buy it and then have them not want me to return it if the browser only connects to the Amazon store. I've spoken to others in this forum from Canada and they can use the browser to connect to websites but I didn't ask them if they bought in Canada or directly from Amazon.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated. I'd like to go buy this tomorrow afternoon if I can figure this out.
Thanks,
Ellie
