I caved and got myself a US iTunes account. I wanted to see iBooks and have easier access to the App store (rather than syncing with my wife's MacBook). It doesn't hurt to have access to all those apps we won't be able to get in Canada.

iBooks is pretty cool. I haven't used many ereaders so I probably don't have a very good point of reference. I like being able to view books in different font sizes or types depending on what I'm reading. I also like being able to get a decent preview of the book before purchasing it. Most have around 30 pages to read before you have to purchase it. The selection seems pretty good. They have all the titles from the authors I like reading.

I have to agree with Scott Kurtz that you need to get the case when you buy this. I bought one at the same time and I'm glad i did. It makes typing and holding much easier. I also agree that this thing was meant for comic books. They look and read awesome. Almost better than the real thing (this coming from a guy with a few thousand comics).
