Hi, everyone.

I've browsed through here and it seems like a lot of the posts about Nooks in Canada go back to December. Hopefully this isn't a redundent message thread.

I called Barnes & Noble and they say the won't ship the Nook to Canada. I might be going to Niagara Falls soon, however, so I could cross the border and pick one up.

Is there anything that I can't do with the Nook in Canada? I'm really not concerned with downloading content wirelessly onto the reader. I don't mind downloading it onto a PC then dragging & dropping via a USB connection.

I did try out a Kindle 2 for a couple of weeks. The 3G network worked, but there was a $2 surcharge to download anything. I've returned the Kindle. One reason is that for me it feels too big and hard to hold.

I think I like the look of the Nook and features more than the Kindle 2. As long as I can copy files (my own documents, PDFs especially) and purchase epub books and use them on the Nook, I'm happy.
