re. 1: I haven't found a free app. There are browser based VPNs, like HideMyAss.com for example. Maybe one of these is working. You may be able to purchase books from the B&N website that way. But you can't use that for the Android market app of course.
re. 2: I'm pretty sure, any US SIM won't be working outside of US. At least not out of the box (or it may be working, depending on your provider. But then you have to accept substantial roaming fees of course. VPN will be way cheaper). You most likely have to change APN and the likes. On Samsung Galaxy Tab, I can't configure the APN. It's pre-defined via my SIM. On nook for example you can overwrite the pre-defined APN (AT&T) from the US SIM with your own APN. But that's only possible on (soft)rooted nook. You probably can do the very same for your device. You should check forums specifically dedicated to you unit.
