@x200/jdrew,
Yeah, I successfully placed the order for the nook Wi-Fi just yesterday, but today if I try it says they won't ship here. It seems likely there was, indeed, a glitch in the system. But the glitch isn't the current situation (i.e. not allowing international shipping). I think the glitch was allowing the order in the first place. That seems likely because B&N didn't allow shipping the nook over here before, either, so it looks like yesterday was the anomaly.

Yeah, we do. I'm guessing you're referring to Aramex Shop&Ship? If B&N cancel my order as I suspect, then I guess I'll consider them. I was hoping this would work, though, since going through Aramex will increase the cost.

They charge $35 just to sign up for a S&S account, and then you have to pay shipping as well, so overall it'll end up costing me something like $60-$70 (if not more) to get it over here...
