When Amazon releases a new device, it’s always introduced to residents of the United States first. Canadians who have wanted to get their hands on these devices have had to rely on creative methods. If driving across the border isn’t feasible, many Canadians choose to buy and ship a Kindle to an American friend who turns around and ships it to them.

I’m excited to announce that as of today Canadians can finally order the new Kindle Paperwhite without an American middle-man. They are now available in the Canadian store in standard and 3G models.

PURCHASE LINKS: Kindle Paperwhite ($139) / Kindle Paperwhite 3G ($199) / Kindle ($89)
