Hmm... this got me thinking that it seems like it's been awhile since I've read any of those annoying 'not available in Quebec' notices on sites such as SonyStyle.ca or Dell.ca, so I decided to call Sony and ask them about it. I spoke with a sales rep who said they ship the readers to Quebec no problem. She also mentioned that the 700 was discontinued, the 505 was not, and that new models are expected in the coming months.
She said it is unlikely that we would find any Readers on SonyStyle store shelves in Quebec, but she seemed to remember hearing about a store in maybe Montreal or Brossard that kept some in the back that they took out if anyone asked about them.
I then called the SonyStyle store in Brossard, and he said they don't currently have any in stock, but when the new models come out they will have them in all stores.
I'm taking their comments with a grain of salt, as sales reps say the darndest things sometimes. But it would appear, at least, that we can now get our hands on the Sony Readers in Quebec through SonyStyle.ca.
