I think that's really the best advice right there.

If you like and want an ereader, there are a lot of choices, but there really are no losing choices and I think you'll be happy with whatever you decide to go with. All of them are deficient right now, but all of them are also fantastic in their own way.

My suggestion at this point is to stop looking at devices, and start looking at stores that are available to you in Canada. See what formats they offer, figure out what format most of the books you want to read are. That's going to help narrow it down there. Then think about actually reading and using the device and what options you think you'll actually use. Figuring out what's practical, what's nice to have, and what's not actually ever going to be used.

One thing to think about the kindle; if Amazon releases the kindle in Canada, there's a good chance it's going to have different hardware for accessing whatever the version of whispernet will be there. You might want to hold off on that model until there's a Canadian release.
