Kindle vs Kobo in Canada? Which to buy?
I was hoping that the experts and owners on these forums could help clarify something for me. I'm considering getting either a Kindle or Kobo for christmas; the only feature I need is wireless, no 3G so the entry level models for both would be fine.

However I live in Canada, and while I do like Amazon (satisfied customer) I don't like dealing in US dollars when they do have a Canadian website. So I like the idea of the Kobo because I can purchase books "in Canada" so to speak.

Now, I remember reading that the Kobo supports more formats (and DRM?) so I believe I can download from Amazon (and other places) and copy across to the Kobo. But I can't download from Chapters/Indigo and read the books on the Kindle. Is this correct?

Thanks
