I have heard that Indigo is looking to launch an e-book reader of its own. Perhaps they might even do this through Shortcovers. Has anyone here heard the same or have a sense of if/when this might happen?

Personally, I've been rather taken by the new nook from B & N. I'm inclined to look for one of these in the states and use it here, but I'd obviously like to buy something that is designed to work here in Canada. I don't really relish the prospect of having to screw around with US addresses and etc.

Given what's happened with the Palm Pre, iPhone, and Kindle 2 International, it seems that we Canucks are doomed to get access these devices well after the rest of the world.
