Hi, I'm interested in buying a Kindle 2, and I'm Canadian.

1. I notice on Amazon's Kindle page they say all NYT Best Sellers are available for $9.99 or less, including new releases. It then says wireless delivery to your Kindle costs $2 (so I see why B&N has cheaper eBooks, they don't have wireless charges).

So I said okay, I'll buy it from my computer, it won't have to use the network for wireless. But then it still says it wants $11.60 ($2 plus the $9.60). Huh? And then even stranger, it says free wireless delivery. So why am I getting $2 charges? That adds up!

2. If I decide to get ebooks from other sources (say I buy it from another source and put it on my computer, then drag and drop to Kindle), will it still use Whispernet to sync that to my Kindle for iPhone, and keep the page as well? What about annotations?

ie: I download an article I want to read in .PDF format to my computer, drag and drop to Kindle. If I now go on my iPhone, will it send that to my iPhone, free of charge? What about if I start reading a couple pages of it on my iPhone, despite not being bought from Amazon will it send the page I'm on back to my Kindle?

3. If I buy it in Canada off the site, it says free shipping. So it will just be $259 + tax?

4. Is there refurbished Kindles available in Canada?

5. What's Barnes and Noble's selection of ebooks like in Canada? I see a lot of books and they're priced cheaper than Kindle, but are those even available for download in Canada?

6. What's the likelihood of a Kindle 3 being released soon? I'm at least waiting till February to buy, due to the rumors of a Jan. 26 Apple Tablet/ebook thing release.

7. Canada doesn't have the browser right? Can I hack that on somehow? What about Wikipedia and dictionary definitions?

8. How does the Kindle work as an MP3 player?

9. What's the coverage of the Whispernet in Canada? Is there a chance I won't have coverage? (Nova Scotian.)

10. Anything else I should know about Kindles in Canada?

Thanks a lot guys, I like to do a lot of research before I drop the money on a product. :P
