Hey, Jess! I'm in the GTA myself. (I can see Queen's Park from my porch! LOL)
Kindle 2 is pretty amazing for what I want to do -- read books. I bought mine mid-November and it's already been to Mexico and back.
There is so much public domain content that makes ideal reading for me, I still haven't bought anything directly from Amazon. Plus, as I am discovering, it is ridiculously easy to "roll your own" doing very simple global formatting with Word and running it through a Mobi maker. The content here on Mobileread, and a few of the easily discoverable "usual suspects", opens up a lot of stuff to read.
And one thing you may like is, as a Canadian resident, Life+50 author rule applies to you. So, if you like mysteries, Dorothy L Sayers and Raymond Chandler are PD for you. A number of titles have turned up in the .mobi section here.
Have fun when the Kindle arrives! (Charge it first ... it takes about an hour.)
