Hi guys,

I have been reading up on ways to make Kindle works in Canada here and on a couple of other forums and I really believe it is worth doing it.

There seems to be an easy way to work around Amazon "protectionism" by using a US account with a US address (which I have through extended family) and gift certificates.

Obviously the whispernet and/or wireless functionality will be missing from the experience, but when Amazon will resolve this issue with a Canadian cellular provider, I'll be able to get it. In the interval, I'll use the Kindle like I would use any other reader... with my computer and a USB wire...

Anybody got horror stories I should know before going forward ??
