The $200 Playbook is a bit nebulous. I have a friend at RIM who was getting a bunch of them for Christmas for folks, but there was a Fedex screw-up and now they're expected in January. As for the ones on sale during Boxing Week, they were sold out first thing in the morning. Very limited supply. However, one that I've seen is smoother and faster than the Vox. While the Playbook has a Kobo app, what's the deal on Overdrive to borrow library books? Does it ir doesn't it work on the Playbook. Oh, and the Kindle Fire is not available in Canada presently.
