Apparently they must be able to tell from my IP address that I am currently overseas. I have tried to purchase books and apps, and everything has been cancelled. B&N have not replied to my email saying I live both in USA and New Zealand. I'm really ticked off about this as I purchased the Nook Colour in-store at B&N in Orange, California, as it was highly rated in Consumer Reports. No one said that it wouldn't do me any good overseas!
Just install a VPN like Hotspot Shield (free) or alwayVPN ($8.50) on your PC to get an US IP-address. That way you can use your PC to by books, newspapers, magazines and apps from the B&N website.
If your NC has a Wifi connection, just sync your libary to download the things you have bought to your NC.
