I think Amazon values Americans more than Canadians! I mean, why else would they not sell the kindle fire inthe US and not in Canada?Our money is good.We are willing buyers.Anyone else has a better reason?

It happened with the IPhone before. History repeats itself.
Canada blows.

All other issues aside, the Canadian Publishing Industry is a disjointed, non-collaborative joke. Even if all the other issues were worked out and Amazon brought the device to Canada the Canadian Publishers would still be talking about and not agreeing on digital publishing rights until the yea 10,000 AD. Total Canadian titles that would be available on the Kindle… 10 if your lucky. Get real. The Kindle would be great for consumers that want to use it in Canada, like myself, who are interested in a variety of content, but if they had to rely on the “Unified Canadian Book Industry” to make it a success, they’d be crapping bricks while they loose their shirts.

Actually, a palm pilot or ipaq will do fine as an alternative. They both have software ports of Mobipocket and the pricing is more reasonable than what I’ve seen listed on Amazon. (I imagine that the Sony store is as overpriced as the rest of it’s products.)

That being said, the whole ebook field has a serious weakness in the lack of titles being offered. For example, try finding “Just after Dark” on Mobipocket or ebookmall.com

Granted, the cost of the Sony reader is high, but what else do you expect for a high demand, low supply product that has no readily availiable competition in Canada? The only comparable product in stores might be sub-notebooks, but that stretches thhe comparision a littlr far. Get Amazon to release a Canadian Kindle or get Cybooks into stores… then you will see Sony’s prices fall.

The Sony eBook isn’t much of a solution. Yeah, it’s an attractive, well-designed product, and it works. But the Sony eBook Store is massively overpriced. Books are priced at the same level as the hardcover list price (Amazon’s kindle edition prices are much lower) and there isn’t a SINGLE Canadian book on the Sony store. I spent 3 hours one day not long ago trying to find someone at Sony to speak with about this. No luck. I called at least a dozen Sony offices all over the continent, left messages with customer service … nada. Very typical for Sony. “Buy it and osculate our posteriors, suckers” is their policy. I’d be happy to buy a Kindle. You can have my Sony.
