it would be since the only place to buy kindles, in Canada anyway, is Amazon itself.

It's still too rich for my blood. I wouldn't mind a giant kindle for $199 though

The visible text equates to a large hardback book, not a small paperback.

I went from a 6" Sony to a 9.7" DXG for no more reason than that.

So far the only time I've wished for a physically smaller reader has been on a plane because of the restricted space.

I do read SQL/Computer books and the DXG (now iPad too) are the only ereaders that work. My Kindle 3 just cut the lines off and changes the formatting, it is hard to read.

Is nice if you read poetry as well ...

I imagine it is only in the US, though, eh?

Nice choice, is exactly what I did. Did you buy GoodReader? I highly recommend you that app for PDF documents.
