I think this topic should be separated from the other similar one.

I'm in Bangkok, Thailand. I can place my order for Nook by using "alwaysvpn" service to trick B&N that my IP is from US, and use Vpostasia to ship from their dummy US address to me.

So far I'm very happy with Nook. The only function which I cannot fully utilize is the registration and buying ebooks from B&N via my Nook.

I believe that there should be some workaround on this. I'm not computer networking expert; but I strongly believe that the above problem could be solved without a very complex solution.

My idea is something like this, I have not tried yet:

Objective: at least use my home wifi to register my Nook and subsequent ebook purchase from B&N

My current equipment: a notebook with buitin wifi connected to my home wifi adsl/router (SMC).

Here is my humble plan:

1. buy another cheap USB wifi and plug it to my notebook
2. set up the new wifi by making my notebook as a wifi router (or set as Infrastructure mode)
3. connect my Nook, via wifi, to my notebook wifi direct (instead of from the central wifi router)
4. on my notebook, I activate alwaysvpn
5. my Nook should now be able to be registered and I can start buying ebooks.

I'm not sure my approach is technically feasible or not. I need those in the forum to help. If it is possible, I may need some details about the setup steps. My PC is running Winxp SP3.

The other question is: supposed the above solution does allow me to register my Nook successfully. Do I still need to do the same setup above to make my ebooks order? or I can simply connect my Nook to the central wifi router at home (or outside wifi hotspot) as usual, and buy books right away.
