Amazon Kindle: Released in Canada
Filed under: Electronics
We have some great news for those of you living in Canada now, as Amazon has finally decided to start shipping their popular Kindle reader to Canadian homes.
As reported from BGR, the release in Canada has been long overdue, with American consumers having had the first generation device for a few years now.
That said and done, Canadians will now be able to purchase a Kindle from the Amazon website, where you’ll see it listed for $259 USD ($275 CDN).
If e-books are your sort of thing, the Kindle is a no-brainer really, with a estimated 300,000 books available from the word go.
Let us know if you live in Canada and are planning to pick up a Kindle during the holiday season.

Amazon Kindle: Five reasons why to buy
I live in Canada, and I was very excited for this announcement. Unfortunately it looks like the Kindle DX is still not available to us. Any idea why they would make the regular kindle available, but not this one?
I would purchase a kindle DX. However since I own a Sony 505 I see no reason to buy a normal kindle. If a large screen reasonably priced ereader is released before the kindle dx, I wont be purchasing the kindle dx either.
