Nook content in Australia
Any idea where I can find ebooks for my Nook here in Australia? Thanks...

Register your B&N account with an US shipping and billing address.
You can use any address, google something. The billing address is not verified with your credit card company, so this will work fine.
Use a VPN like Hotspot Shield (free) or alwaysVPN ($8.50) to get an US ip-address.

This way you can buy ebooks at B&N on your PC.
First start the VPN, than go to the B&N website and buy the books.
If your Nook has a Wifi connection you can download the books by choosing "check for new B&N content". Otherwise use the USB connection to copy the books to the My Documents folder on the Nook.

I have no US credit card or billing address. So I cannot buy any ebooks for the Nook here in AU?

As geertm said, B7N don't check your credit card, so your Australian credit card should work fine (My NZ card works fine).

As for a US address, google is your friend. You should be able to use any mail forwarder shipping address for example.

Yeah, following on what they said, I live in Oz and use Microsoft's address rather cheekily...

What's the favoured format / sizing for the Nook ?

Most of our stuff we've just put in as 'standard/generic' ePub and mobi - but it'd be good to know what is preferred for other more common devices.
