Books should cost the same for the Kobo and the Kindle. Agency Pricing prevents the bookstores from discounting or using coupons on e-books from the major Publishers. I do not know how this translates to text books.
The Kindle and Kobo are both available in Canada. I believe that you can get a Sony as well. The Sony will be more expensive.
I am biased towards the Kindle. I have had one since the K1 and love it. The Kobo is a good reader but does not have all the features of the Sony or Kindle. It is a more bare bones reader but costs the same as the Kindle.
The Sony is the best e-reader for reading PDFs although that is not saying much. PDFs were not meant to be read on a 6 inch screen. While it can be made to work, it is not the best. If you are going to be doing a fair amount of PDF reading you would be better off with a tablet of some sort.
