1. In terms of hardware for the Touch, I'm not sure. I have heard of issues with the D-pad on the older model. Software issues seem to be on-going though.
2. No issues with the Kindle NT or keyboard version specifically, which are the only two available in Canada at the moment. Once you have DRM removal/file conversion mastered you are not locked into the Amazon store, which sometimes has georestrictions on books that are available from Kobo and elsewhere.
