Hi Yogi, being a Canadian myself there are lots of places to buy books for your Sony PRS505.

We all go to the same Sony Store, it's just that some of the books listed say "US Only", and those we can't buy because the publishing rights haven't been obtained in Canada yet.

I place some of these books on my wish list, hoping in the future that they will be available in Canada.

Remember also, that the books are listed in US dollars, and your credit card will automatically adjust to the exchange rate at the time the transaction is posted.

I, myself, haven't noticed more spelling mistakes on books purchased on the Sony site than on any other.

Any eBook site that I have gone to will accept a Canadian Credit Card.

Other than online eBook stores there are also a large number of books available for download at MobileRead and you may be able to borrow eBooks from your local library if it is set up for eBook lending. We have a provincial lending library in BC and I just use my local library card number to download a book. I then have 3 weeks to read it before it gets locked.

Please ask any more questions if you have them.

Great present by the way, hope he enjoys it.

WDE.
