Won't be the same price here. The 300 will be priced CDN$279 and the 600 CDN$399. Here is a quote from their press release I found on sony.ca.

The Reader Pocket and Touch Editions, available for $279 and $399 respectively, as well as accessories such as adaptors, cases and covers with reading lights, will be available at the end of August at http://www.sonystyle.ca/ and Sony Style retail locations across Canada. Book lovers interested in trying out a Reader in person will also be able to find them for sale at Best Buy and Future Shop.
Even if you take into account the exchange rate we are still taken to the cleaner big time.
