Hello

A friend of mine is going on holidays next week to US (we're from Spain) and he want to buy an ebook reader (one for him and one for me). We have doubts between nook and kindle, but taking into account that there`s no stock of kindle until sep 17th, nook (only wi-fi) seems to be the best option, but I want to be sure that there will be no problems using it in Spain later. These are my questions

1.- Do we need to register the device in order to use Wi-fi? We have another friend who lives in US. Would it be posible to register using her address?

2.- We're, probably, use the book with spanish books, so not buying books in B&N is not a problem. But, is it posible to upgrade the firmware outside US?

I suppose there's no other big problems using the reader outside US.

Best Regards
