I emailed Sony about the large difference between the US and Canadian price. This is the lacklustre reply I got:

Thanks for contacting Sony Canada about the new Reader Digital Book models.

While there are a number of factors that go into the price point of a product beyond exchange rate, it’s also important to note that these new Reader models offer more features at lower price points than our previous PRS-505 and PRS-700 models.

Thanks again for contacting Sony, and if you have any further questions please let me know.

Cheers,
Candice
