The Kindle Reader is soon to become available to Canada purchase by Amazon.com. It was suppose to be sent here sooner, but was delayed for awhile. This new portable handbook will be in competition with the Shortcover e-book service Indigo Books & Music Inc. This hand held will have access to more than 300,000 books and is part of a 3G wireless network so the user can download from anywhere. The only way to get it is online for about $259 (US) + shipping and handling.
