Morning Herway, I too am from Canada and would like to add to the conversation.
Astak has the PocketPro coming out in the next 2 months give or take and it is a 5" reader that supports a whole slew of book formats. They are promising for competitive pricing in the $209 US range and will ship to Canada.
As a Canadian, one concern I have is warranty coverage. Some companies from the US and abroad only honor warranties in their own country. This has me seriously considering a Sony. As Sony has a Canadian division, Sony Style Canada, you would be able to buy one at a store and have it serviced here in Canada if ever you should need to. I know that right now Best Buy, Future Shop & Staples all carry them in Canada as well as Sony Style locations as well.
Another issue to keep in mind for us Canucks is that any reader we buy from outside of Canada will be charged Duty and Handling Fees at the border. That on top of a higher shipping rate to get the reader to Canada makes it cheaper often just to buy local. It may seem like you can get a great deal from outside Canada, and some times you can, but it is often more expensive by the time the transaction is finished.
Hope that gives you something to think about. I too am still shopping and am pretty sure that any reader is better than no reader so I am sure that you will find the one that fits for you.
Oh and Welcome of course. You will find many very knowledgeable people here who can answer questions on any device going.
