Hello, everyone. I'm new here, so please forgive any mistakes related to your standard "I'm annoyed" posting procedures...

Quick question: is it possible to purchase B&N eBooks from outside the US, using an international Credit Card?

The reason I ask is actually quite bizarre. Though it seems to me that online purchases (especially the ones related to download-based "goods") don't really need any physical counterpart, our friends at B&N apparently feel otherwise. I sent them an e-mail a couple of weeks ago inquiring about the possibility of using the Nook's 3G internationally, and what I got as a response was a statement that it was not possible for them to sell Nook and eBooks to international costumers.

OK, I can understand the lack of international shipping for the actual device, but the eBooks? Well... Is that really accurate?

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo
