I'm now thinking it's not worth the bother: too many hoops to jump through and fees to pay.

I'll still investigate that US SIMC card option as I think all it does is sit in your phone and trick the server into thinking you're an American. Everything else gets done through WiFi. But, even so, if I have to buy a US SIM card, my "free" Nook for Android app is no longer free.

Perhaps I'll just wait for B&N to pull their heads out of their @$$<$ and wise up to how the industry needs to go.

Thanks anyway. I guess I'll try Kindle.
