Numbers for Canada seem to show Kobo ~ 48% of the total market, Amazon ~24%, Sony ~15% and others ~12% for total of 99% so about 75% epubs and 24% mobi. One odd item is that pdf ebooks while commonly available don't seem to have much in the line of sales. The US is still hanging in as the leading market for ereaders and ebooks though that lead is shrinking.
