The Nook is another option for Americans. The downside is that it is difficult to buy books overseas and I don't believe that the 3G works outside the US.
Does Barnes & Noble pay attention to whether people are using a non-U.S. IP address to connect to their ebook store? Or is it enough to just have the device registered to a U.S. address and/or use of a U.S. based credit card?

The one problem that I see with a device that requires USB cable transfer is that the OP says that she plans to leave her macbook at home. I would say that this narrows the choices down to a Kindle (she would still be able to access the American store even while traveling abroad) or the Sony 950 (presuming that Sony doesn't have any geo-restrictions for travelers?). Does the 950 have the same browser capabilities as the Kindle?
