Worked for me --- though I usually don't download anything since I pay the minimum charge and pay per kb. WiFi is available everywhere for me. Perhaps Google has upgraded their market so that they can tell your location through your provider? Try turning off location services.

But, as mentioned, to actually use the Nook application you may have to use a VPN, or some other service. Since a lot of apps will lock you out unless you have a US IP address. I know the Nook app does.

Another option would be is to share your internet connection wirelessly via your computer. You download all the books once and then you can use the app freely to read those.
