I still REALLY want a kindle, but have put my ordering on hold because of some potential download availability/price issues in Canada. The price isn't what I would pay, either, I have to pay an additional $30 to get it shipped to Canada so it's now a $180 gadget.

I also wonder how it will be if I get it shipped to my friend's place in Washington. Will the thing know I'm in Canada, or will I not be able to download anything unless I was in the states?
