As you say, it isn't the lack of network access that is preventing Amazon from selling in Canada. It is probably the lack of ebook rights. For Amazon to sell to Canada they would have to mark each Kindle ebook US-only or US+Canada. Canadians with Kindles would then be in the same bind as Sony PRS owners, they can see ebooks they want to buy buy in the store but they can't do so because they are US-only. Amazon may actually be in a better position to sell in Canada once they have UK Kindles, because then some US and some UK ebooks would be "legal" in Canada. However, I don't know if the Canadian market is large enough for the hassle involved in selling ebooks there for a company the size of Amazon.
