Kindle Comes to Canada

OK, here’s what you can buy me for Christmas (to us alongside my Sony Reader).
The Kindle has finally come to Canada (but it’s not as good as the American version).
Kindle Canada is available
“Canada gets all of the following –
1.Free access to the Kindle Store via 3G wireless.
2.300,000 English language books.
3.$11.99 prices.
4.100,000 books under $5.99.
5.Newspapers and Magazines are also available
What does Canada not get?
1.No free Internet.
2.$2 extra for books due to wireless delivery charge.
3.No wireless delivery of personal documents.
4.No Kindle Blogs.
5.Prices in Canadian Dollars. Everything will be charged in US dollars”

  1. The other thing Canadians don’t get is any kind of trade-in if they already own the US Kindle.
    I bought a US Kindle 2 when I was splitting time between the US and Canada, and when I heard about this I was hoping I’d be able to use the wireless in both countries. But no.
    Currently locked in battle with customer service. Which is kind of funny because with the limited wireless, all we’re arguing over is whether I can shop in their store.

    I’m not so sure I’d be loading up on devices (as utterly cool as they are). I think that these e-readers are a transitional step to something. I already like the i-Phone’s reader interface better than the Sony reader, and Asus is expected to launch a netbook/reader which really appeals to me.
