BN might go out of its way to keep people from buying books outside the US but the strength of the Nook, so I am told, is that you can buy from any store that sells EPub. So even if you cannot buy a book from BN you can buy a book from many other sources and add it to the Nook using Calibre or USB cord.
And BN is pretty upfront that the Nook is meant for the US market and only the US market. They don't sell the device outside of the US and they have the necesary verbage on their website to let you know that you cannot buy books outside of the US.
I am not a Nook owner, I saw one on the plane the other day and was thrilled that I had my Kindle, but to blast BN for not disclosing that it is not meant to be used outside the US is just plain silly.
Personally, I would tell anyone buying an e-reader for international use to buy a Kindle or a Sony because they are both international readers. BN does not market the Nook as an international reader so why would people expect it to behave like the Kindle or Sony?
