where did you buy yours?

Hi all,
where did you buy your onyxes? I'm in Canada (Montreal), and there seem to be limited options:

a) amazon - yuk, I'd rather not give them any more money than I already have during less enlightened stages of my life
b) goodereader - seems shady and this forum doesn't seem to like them. But they seem to be the cheapest?
c) the onyx intl online store
d) the ereader.store in Detmold, Germany. Good reputation but relatively expensive, and not sure whether I'd have to pay customs, and whether canadian or EU tax applies.
e) getting it sent to friends in the states from an US seller and have them bring it next time they visit.

This is for a Max3 or Max2 pro.

Any experiences with the above stores or specifically the Canadian situation; or any other options that I may have overlooked?

Thanks in advance!
