Library ebooks in Canada?
I found out that if you have a Sony ebook reader, it is possible to get library books. You can keep those for 21 days. That is totally awesome. I found the New York Public Library but that is only for US residents. But where do you find these books (I am planning to get a Sony 505 or....maybe another device if there is anything better?) in Canada?

Here's a blog that says that Vancouver's public library will offer 2,500 eBooks starting April 1.

The Ottawa Public Library has an e-book lending section (PDF, Mobipocket and epub) but you need a library card.
