You can have apps from multiple accounts on your device at the same time. the device is more tied to your computer than your itunes account.
I do this all the time on my iphone. I have apps from 2 accounts (2 different itunes stores) on my phone at the same time.
When you are in Itunes you can choose to sync any app that has been downloaded, regardless of the itunes account it was downloaded from.
Like I said, it just becomes an issue on updates for the app. As to update, you have to physically be signed into the account used when the app was downloaded. This is not a big deal, but is a bit of a pain.
I agree, ideally you get ibooks from your country of origin, but I'm sure not waiting for that to happen if I can easily get it from the US store.
Now, when ibooks does become available in Canada, I will likely download it from the Canadian store - at which point I will have to delete the US one and thus lose all my setting and such. But, for me, that is a minor inconvenience to having ibooks right away.
