The main reason I am considering ordering from the US is availability of a specific
book title:

http://tinyurl.com/yuht7t
Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, 2nd Edition
by Bruce Schneier

The above book is not available through amazon.ca as a new book order but is readily
available through amazon.COM.

Otherwise I'd be shopping from amazon.ca in a heartbeat.

Regards,
