I love shopping and buying on Amazon, but if I have to suffer regional locking that is a deal-breaker for me.

We have two Kindle Keyboards, one a 3G and one a WiFi. Both are registered to our US Amazon account. We have no difficulty downloading books to our Kindles, whether over 3G or WiFi. (Though I admit, 90% of my downloading is done to my local computer to simplify DRM removal and loading into Calibre, where I manage all my books.) I have also had NO issue with replacing a Kindle under warranty while in Canada.
The available content for US registered Kindles is definitely better than for Canadian registered ones, so I would recommend this approach. For the few ebooks that are available in Canada but not in the US, I keep a Kobo account with my Canadian information and convert for the Kindle after cleaning off the DRM.
