buy ebooks canada
can I buy Chapters/Indigo ebooks and read them on the Nook ereader?

I live in Canada but want to use the Nook ereader from Barnes and Noble, because of the Wifi, touch screen and colour screen…

Will I be able to buy ebooks from Chapters and/or Indigo and be able to read them on the Nook?

I know nothing about E Readers…. Thanks!

Not sure if it helps, but Amazon just released new models of the Kindle and they are much better. There is a fresh user comment here about choosing between the new Kindle or the Nook:

I’m sorry to say that if you live in Canada, you should not buy the Nook as it is not supported in Canada. Barnes and Noble detects IP address for devices (like computer) that connect to their website, and refuse to sell ebooks outside of the U.S. as they haven’t solved the export law issue (you can try as in the link below). The Kindle has much better support outside the U.S.:

I’ve also given a detailed comparison between the Nook and the new Kindle, in another answer here (I’ve also mentioned where to get free books in the answer). Guess you’ll find interested:

And if you’re getting the Kindle, my advice for you is to place the order as soon as possible so to ensure it arrives to you early. The first batch has just sold out and the second batch now deliver on or before 24th Sept. When the second batch get out of stock, it may take another month for it to be back in stock, and you’ll have to wait much longer.

Hope it helps :)
