Amazon Kindle vs. Sony ebook reader Questions?
Okay so i live in Canada and i have been recently looking into both the amazon kindles and sony ebook readers and i have some questions 
1. Are they available in Canada yet? If not when?
2. What are the prices for each?
3. In your opinion which is best?
And if you can give any extra info on them that would be awesome thanks
1. Unless you’ve a US credit card and a US shipping address, otherwise you can’t get the Kindle and any books for the Kindle… See the question “Is Kindle available to customers outside the United States?” here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200316870%26ref%255F%3Dhp%255Fnavbox%255Fhh%255Fk2faq&tag=querystr-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
So even if you have ways to get the Kindle device, it will still be a headache to get books on it.
I only heard of plans from Amazon to launch the Kindle in UK. However, it is talked for over a year, doesn’t seem to have any progress yet. It should be some issue on export laws.
2. $299 for the Kindle 2, around $270 for Sony Reader
3. The Kindle is good inside the U.S. However, the best thing of the Kindle – free wireless internet access, is not available outside the United States. So I’ll suggest you to go for the Sony Reader instead, which is the best alternative of the Kindle. There is a good review here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR5ZQWDFEYH3VE%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=querystr-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957
Hope it helps.
