Kindle vs. nook in Canada - nook seems to have cheaper ebooks

I'm having a hard time deciding between buying a nook or a Kindle 2 in Canada.

On one hand, the Kindle is actually official in Canada, and wireless downloads are awesome that way. Officialness brings a lot of compelling features that unofficial devices can't touch.

On the other hand, in Canada, just about every ebook is $2 cheaper than the Kindle version at the Barnes and Noble ebook store. This is kind of depressing, the nook isn't even available officially here and they're trouncing Kindle's prices.

What would you guys recommend? I was leaning towards the Kindle until I saw this unfortunate fact, which is rather troubling.

I'm still leaning towards the Kindle, it being available in Canada is a very tempting asset, but the nook seems like an interesting device as well, but I'm not sure if it's worth it (it's thicker too) the touch screen almost seems more distracting than it would be useful, and the Kindle is a lot thinner.

Gah, help?
