You won't get away from the DRM issue no matter what reader you get. That's a publisher issue, except to the extent that Nook and the Kindle use a sort of proprietary DRM version rather than the ADE (Adobe) "standard."
Buying internationally from a US base isn't all that difficult. Most of the sites I've used for book buying go by your "account address" rather than limiting you by IP address. Some seem to key off the nationality of your credit card - so if and when you move overseas, just keep a US card open and available.
I'd also give some thought to how much you need or want wifi and/or 3G. I know I am on my computer most of the day and so it's no bother at all to connect my reader by cable - to download news or organize my books, as well as to charge it up. I've always got at least 5 to 10 "to be read" books loaded on the reader, so I hardly need the added temptation of "instant gratification" but you have to assess your own needs in this regard.
Before you decide, do take a look at the matrix of e-readers here on Mobile Read (click on the "Wiki" at the top of the page).
