I buy my books at Kobo too, cycles. I've found, too, if I can't find a book I want there, I can usually get it through the Chapters.ca site.

I chose Kobo because I'd seen the Sony Reader in Future Shop and wasn't really impressed with its usability for the amount of money FS wanted. Sony was also offering books through its US website in US dollars, rather than me being able to see the prices in CAD.

I was looking at Kindle and learned that ebooks sold through Amazon in the US aren't necessarily available in Canada. The discussion is here:

That kind of defeats the purpose of buying the reader, which is why I went with Kobo. Oh, yeah, I found too that Chapters had good prices on ebooks.
