Finally worked this out a bit. Sony and Amazon both show a book as being unavailable when you view the book info page.

You got it.

Also: You create an account on Amazon.com and add your home address.

There's a provision to add other addresses to your account.

In the event you move to a different country, switch address to your other one and book availability changes to reflect your new country.

My general impression has been Amazon.com absolutely has the most ebooks and the few that aren't available to Canadians are vastly overshadowed by those available on Amazon that aren't on Kobo.

If you want canadian content, then go for Kobo. The kobo store has a lot more canadian content - both books and newspapers. Another plus for the Kobo is that it supports epub - you can purchase your books from other sites - like Sony's ebook store and do not have to convert the books to use on the Kobo.

Cheers
