Okay, I picked up my box. It was shipped on December 10th, and it was received on December 16th. The box has two sheets of foam, which would keep the reader fairly secure. I think waiting for the box may be a good investment - if the reader is damaged en route, not sure if Sony Canada will ship back a PRS-505
The address is:
Sony of Canada Ltd Service
211 Placer St
North York, Ontario
M2H3H9
Good luck everyone!
