While doing a bit of research while we deciding on our choice of e-book, the Kindle was still a choice. Digging deeper into the offerings, I believeI found a reason for the 'embargo'. It is certainly a case where provider is available. Sprint provides a free service to Kindle owners in the US

Up here, we have a number of likely choices that could provide the service, but as we all know, Telus, Shaw, or who ever would need an amount of money from Amazon that would pay for all these subscribers to hook up wirelessly
There are work arounds, or so I've heard, to make it possible to use the ebook store. I wanted to avoid that
For this reason, we ended upwith the Sony vs Cybook... settling for the PRS600.
