You can now order the Kindle from practically every corner of the world but good luck trying to order it in Canada. As of today, it remains unavailable here. According to The Globe and Mail, the delay is due to the fact that Amazon is still negotiating with Canadian carriers to offer wireless support for its WhisperNet service.
