Because of that, you can feel comfortable about your purchase. If you like it, great, if you hate it, return it and get the kobo. Your local best buy should have a pw2 on display to compare. I have a kobo glo and the kindle pw2. I do not feel the "walled garden" effects on either device. Honestly, I have had software issues on my glo, but nothing serious.

My point, do not feel that kindle devices will prevent you from enjoying your reading experience. In fact, I read more now that I have the kindle than ever before.

OP lives in Canada. Libraries there don't offer Kindle books, only EPUB.
