I'm happy to know that I won't be the only one! We are somewhat neglected when it comes to availability in Quebec, but I have a feeling that this will change sooner rather than later. Competition and availability in the ebook reader world seem to be advancing rapidly these days.
I don't mind all that much really, as I still have a shelf full of pbooks that are waiting to be read. Once I've finished those, in a year or two, I will hopefully be able to choose from several fantastic next generation readers: Maybe a Canadian Kindle 3? or a Sony PRS 510, which in my geeky fantasies, will have most of the features of the 700, but with improved screen quality? Heck, maybe I'll even be able to buy a President's Choice brand reader down at the local Loblaws Supermarket for the very reasonable price of $189.99!
Ok, back to reality. I won't be totally empty handed at the meetup, however. I'll still have my silly little smart phone with the mobipocket reader installed. Although, it no longer appears to be functioning after the last software update.
