Not in Canada - same two monopoly suppliers. Means you get the iPhone 18months after the US, kindle 2 years later, still can't get skypein etc.

Unless something has changed, you still cannot get a Kindle from amazon.ca. Instead, you've got to go through amazon.com, and there are restrictions on the books that you can buy, if you do it in Canada.

Even buying it from the US - it only just got wireless downloads in Canada

I was referring to the hardware. Not the set of supplier corporations that are intertwined with the state.
