The issues are much more logistical than anything else. Because the products we carry do NOT have a Canadian price conversion on the cover, and because the currency fluctuates rather frequently, it is more expensive to deal with the market needs. We are developing programs to push into this market, but currently a larger obstacle is that titles would need to be stickered, which marks the book up and can be generally annoying to the consumer.Our partnerships in Canada are quite strong, and we are indeed forging forward in the book market there as well. Our goal is increasing access to the products, for the fans.So, don't think we view the Canadian market as less relevent than the US or other international markets. Every new territory has locality issues that must be resolved before the products can flow through.As to European book markets, we are indeed pushing there as well. The same issues apply, but because it might not be on a book store shelf at the moment, doesn't mean we aren't arranging to put the products there.Thanks,</blockquote>
