fajrdrako | Kindle question for Canadians...

Are there any Canadians here with a Kindle eReader?

I've been trying to research how it works. I have a Sony eReader and love it passionately, but I'm frustrated by ebooks I can't buy from the Sony store, or Barnes and Noble, due to licensing restrictions. Kobo is great, but there are limits to what they offer.

Are there other places to buy Canadian ebooks of the non-kindle variety?

As for the Kindle: as far as I can tell, amazon.ca advertizes a kindle on the entry page, but that takes me to a US site to buy it. I can't see anything else on amazon.ca that offers books for the Kindle. If I look up a book - whether it's The Disorderly Knights or a current bestseller, they give me the option of hardcover or paperback. There is no 'kindle' category offered on the menu, as with amazon.com.

I'm looking for The Disorderly Knights specifically because Kobo doesn't offer it, and didn't answer my email. So I'm looking for an alternative. I bought all the other Lymond books at Kobo.

The amazon.com kindle page gives me all sorts of caveats about how not all US books are available outside their country, but as far as I can see (sampling a few books), I can't find out whether I can buy a book there unless I check it out by trying to order it. I checked a few on my free Kindle eReader for the PC, and had no problems - even with books like The Disorderly Knights, which I can't get at Kobo or Barnes and Noble or Fictionwise.com, even though Fictionwise is happy to take me through the whole PayPal process before telling me I can't have it.

I don't want to buy a kindle unless I know for sure I can buy books for it.

I looked for fine print, but couldn't find any.

Catch-22.

Are there any Canadians in the crowd here with a kindle? how or where do you order books for it?
