The other thing to remember is that Canada is very much a special case: It's part of both North America and the Commonwealth. What happens is if the book is sold to a US publisher first they normally buy NA rights (US and Canada). If it's first sold to a UK publisher they buy Commonwealth rights (includes Canada). So Canada may not get the editions of certain books that people expect.

You're right. I had not made the link with ebooks, but I do know, for example, that in Canadian bookstores we get the UK versions of the Discworld paperbacks.
I was very surprised the first time I got a Discworld book from Amazon.com! The design is so different - I must say the British covers are much nicer.
