Am I reading this wrong? Why would you want to import into Canada? Kobo is a Canadian company (yes, now owned by Rakuten) headquartered on Liberty St in Toronto. So, it should be really easy to get hold of one in Canada. Back when they launched the Touch, it was easier to walk into any Indigo Books and pick one up on the launch day (mind you, Canada Post was in the middle of one of the worst postal strikes ever so that did hamper online sales).

Now, if you are thinking of importing from Canada to Australia, I doubt you would have any duty because the value is below AUD500. From what I understand, they only hit you with GST once it goes above AUD500 anything below, just gets ignored.
