Lots of knockoffs but the prices are crazy. Way more than Canada. As well, many have no English menus, just Chinese. I do plan on looking at some more models next month though. Hopefully they will stop charging over $300 US for basic 6" readers.

The firewall is not a problem since i use a quasi-VPN. I don't like the Kindles because I think they are ugly with the keyboard compared to the Sony models. I would still use my 505 but the battery lasts about four hours until a new charge is required. I replaced the battery but that failed as well. It is about time I get a new one. The Sony 350 looks nice but maybe I will get a Chinese model over here. Will see what I can find.
