I assume buying ebooks won't work well while there........or will it?
I'll have internet, will I be able to download books to my laptop and just use ADE to transfer them to my NC?
I would think I could even download library books (my preferred method of getting books) to my computer while there? Assuming I can access my library accounts.
Will library books I have checked out and on my nookcolor before leaving open up once there? Will the auto 21 day return be recognized?
Should I just plan on having my own books available on my nookcolor to read (either purchased or the freebies) before leaving and don't count on library books?

Feel free to answer any other question about Asia travel that I may not have even listed..........any tips?

Thanks.........
Install Hotspot Shield on your laptop.
To buy books from the B&N website first start Hotspot Shield to get an US IP-addres than buy books from the B&N website.
You only need the VPN (Hotspot Shield) to buy books. As soon as the books are bought they can be downloaded anywhere in the world.

If your NC has a Wifi connection you can download the books on the NC.
If your NC has no Wifi connection you need to download the books to your PC, than copy them to your NC using the USB cable.

I assume that Hotspot Shield will also allow you to download library books, but I am not sure.
