Could anyone tell me how you go about buying/downloading books to the device and if the prices are the same if you are in Canada as opposed to the States.
Thank you!

I can't comment about the Kindle Touch, but I have the new regular Kindle. Apart from lack of buttons, I would imagine overall use is similar. It doesn't get any easier. You purchase the book online on amazon.com, and if your kindle is connected to wifi, it automatically downloads the book onto the Kindle and is ready to read! If you want to sideload your own books and they are in the appropriate format already (e.g. mobi) just have to plug in the USB cable, and drag the file into the 'documents' folder. If they are not in the appropriate format, I just send it to my @kindle.com email address and it converts for me, and automatically downloads onto my kindle.
