My understanding is that the 900 has a better screen clarity than the touch which is available here in Canada. I can easily drive to the US to buy the 900 but can I open up a US account and use it here? My iPhone is 3G! I really don't care about the wifi element; my main concern is the screen clarity as the touch (600?) does not have a good screen. In fact, it is far worse for contrast that the very first reader they introduced into the marketplace. Like the iPad, I would have thought that someone would have figured out how to open up a US account from another country. Anyone else have any ideas?
