Well, Sony it is for me. I have no interest in products not made available in Canada. You can’t tell me our laws are so stringent that Kindle can’t make it’s way.
As well, the wireless is not of an interest. It’s not like i need to find a hotspot cause a book jumped in my head and i need to download it right there and then.
