I have read the details above, and am just not willing to go through all of that.
I will not be buying a Nook. I will go back to looking at the Sony, which is a shame, but it appears to be able to accept a wide range of formats. I haven't yet tried out the store to see if I can buy books from them, but at leats it is sold in Canada so that should be promising.
I get so heartily sick of being treated like a third world backwater by these marketing types.

You are new to this forum. That is why you haven't read (as it has been mentioned 100 times) that regional restrictions have nothing to do with discrimination (these "marketing types" would be more than happy to take your money!) but is about contractual obligations that limit sales territories to certain areas. For many, many products the US is the area with the lowest prices and therefore US sellers are not permitted to sell to any other country. And, by the way, you have just insulted a host of countries where people are facing the same problem, some of which are much more advanced than Canada
