Hello Brent and welcome to MobileRead.

I have a Sony PRS-700 and a PRS-505.

I buy *most* of my eBooks from the Sony eBook Store, Fictionwise and Baen. You can find the links in the MobileRead Wiki at E-book_stores. They all deal with Canadian credit cards in US currency. There will be others that Canadians can buy from and I'll try to find a list. A Canadian on the forum recently asked the same question so I'll try and find that thread and get back to you.

I also borrow eBooks from the British Columbia Libraries-Your Library Without Walls site. I use my local library card to gain access. You'll need a card from the Vancouver Island Regional Library to borrow eBooks. You may have to put a book on reserve until it becomes available. You get to borrow them for 3 weeks before they expire since they are released using Adobe Digital Editions.

It's always nice to see another BC'er at MR.

*edit*

Here are a couple of threads I found on buying eBooks in Canada:

Canadian ebook stores?
Can Canadians easily purchase ebooks?

Books available for the PRS-505 are in the same format used by the PRS-700.

WDE.
