I’m originally from Spain. I know very well these messages from our bubble (which exploded --sort of-- around 2007 - 2008). “House prices can only go up because X”.
Then, for whatever reason, Y happens, and it turns out that Y >> X.
I know how this ends, and it’s not pretty.
I got a Nook in 2011 and it was my main reader device until it died a few months ago. I replaced it with a Kobo and I’m quite happy. Having backlight is a huge improvement.
Plus an account in a potential social.cbc.ca domain has the advantage that you know automatically that it’s a legit CBC account.
Honestly, no idea. I just froze mine and haven’t requested anything since. I guess the worst that will happen is that your request will get rejected because your credit is frozen and you’ll have to unfreeze it (you can do that only for N days / weeks, so you don’t have to re-freeze) and request your CC again.
