In Toronto, I have a Kindle 3 keyboard - and I love it. I have spent very little over the last year (under $100) on books, yet I have hundreds of good books - due too many offered for free.

The Kindle Touch is not yet released for Canada. It should be soon I suggest. But you could buy one (the WiFi) in the US and it would work OK.

The 3G may not work on 3G here - as I suspect AMAZON is working a deal with the Canadian Telco Cartel.

I am waiting for Kindle Fire, but am not holding my breath, the Amazon ecosystem in Canada is essentially books... not music, not videos, movies or television... I could only imagine the hurdles faced by Amazon in dealing with our crooks in suits - protected by Ottawa - cable and ISPs companies.
