Why not?

Because you are recommending to someone who lives in Canada to buy a brand new device which has no support on that country and has been clearly marketed for USA. I personally believe that is really irresponsible and misleading.

Regarding the address issue, it is not realistic to someone who does not live in USA to find an physical address here. Even more, with the new prices shipping with insurance and tracking will be more expensive than even the device itself.

For someone who lives in Canada, I would suggest Sony, Kindle, Kobo or even one of the less popular devices but never Nook; not because I have something against the new device or company, but because the user won't have any support whatsoever, not without shipping back.
