Amazon will show you what the shipping, duties and taxes are at the time of order. With the leather case, mine came to just under $350 Hi Tom -

Just wished to confirm that is the case and that one must order from Amazon.com and that it cannot be shipped from Canada. If so how much extra is there for the CRA and for shipping costs. From $259. how high do you have to go? Thanks. From what I gather from the site K2 will operate wirelessly and seamlessly in this area-Comox Valley.

Sony supports epub and adobe digital additions, which is what you would need to read ebooks from the public library (at least here in BC). However, on the kindle, in Canada, I can download books wirelessly from the amazon store. So far, there are no duties or taxes, those only apply when you purchase the device. It looks like Amazon is bundling the taxes into the book price. Hi Janice -

Are there any fees for downloading books and newspapers in Canada? Fees such as, duty/tax fees from the USA. Also, are there any surprises not mentioned in there add? Can you download books wirelessly? I also thought to buy the Sony PRS-505 but in your opinion the Kindle 2 would be the better choice? Hi…I am thinking of buying a Kindle 2.
