So, I don't know what the laws are like in Canada.
But in the US, monopolies are not automatically illegal -- if they became a monopoly merely by out-innovating and offering a better service, it isn't, in fact, illegal. What is the story in Canada?
I think it is a big pity if this happens -- competition is always good. But this really is all Kobo/Sony/B&N's fault, for dropping the ball.
