I'm sorry if these have been asked before but when I pulled up a search I seemed to get random, irrelevant topics ?!?!

Anyhow, I'm a Canadian who couldn't justify the 149.00 for the Kobo when the nook wifi was the same price, so i took the plunge knowing I might have a few kinks to work out as far as purchasing books from B&N

It's my understanding that with a US shipping address I can order eBooks to my nook despite having a Canadian credit card. My question is do I have to *say* my BILLING address is also a US address in order to do so? And can I download it right to my device this way or do I have to dl it to my computer first?

Also I was reading a few posts about trouble registering your nook FROM Canada... not sure if anyone has any tips of info as those posts were from much earlier in the year. Perhaps something has changed?

Thanks in advance for your help and again, my apologies for posting a repeat topic... I'm sure this has come up before but like I said the search was doing something funky!
