About time. I'm in the US, but have a few friends in Canada that have been chomping at the bit for this.

This is a bit strange... "The Spire" is available in Canada as an ebook through Sony's Ebookstore. I bought it a few months ago when I had a PRS-505.
But now the Kindle version of The Spire is not available in Canada due to "copyright restrictions". I would think the same laws/restrictions would apply to both versions of the ebook. |

Who needs and ebook reader more than the most remote island in the world?
I wonder what the weather is like there. I need a vacation. |

Hooray for Canadians!
Hope Amazon releases the Kindle in my country (South Korea) soon... I mean, the wireless coverage map shows 100% Whispernet coverage across the whole country! So, just release it already! |

It's a shame that the delay with the kindle wasn't so that they could launch a proper version in canada, it would have been a clear sign that amazon weren't happy to just sit back after implementing their current system of approved grey importing and roaming data.

Good news, but I already have a Sony 505. I was ready to use the credit card on a DX, but they won't ship iot to Canada. Oh well, not my problem.
