"... You will be able to do that [buy in Canada and use in U.S.] but will only be able to purchase and transfer the books using the computer not through the Reader directly. When accessing the Reader Store through the device itself it is possible that it will only display the Canadian Store. However, you may use the Reader for PC program in the computer to make the purchases and transfer them to the device."
Being the persistent persnickety type, have asked the warranty question again, but am not holding my breath for an answer.
Also, if Sony's library access is due to an exclusive contract with Overdrive, does that mean the contract is ending? Hmmm... Perhaps there's hope for other ereaders in the future?

I think the above is just a guess.
Sideloading library books is very easy BTW. You can do it
If you have a Canadian friend or relative you could use PayPal with Futureshop and have them forward it. I am pretty sure you won't need the warranty but you could hopefully mail it to Canada if you did.
I haven't seen the T3 yet as I am not near any stores except for a little weeny grocery store, but I will be in a day or so. I will maybe buy one. I have an Aura HD and don't like it, so will probably sell it. I am happy enough with the T1, but the T3 looks nice. I am hoping for a big sale before Christmas and/or one packaged with the lighted cover.
If you want to get your feet wet with a Kobo, maybe buy a mini. They are very cheap and while a little buggy, seem better than the HD. Surprisingly easy to read on with my elderly eyes.
