I have bought books using Whispernet outside of the US with Amazon, no problems. As a US resident there is nothing wrong with that. BN has made it difficult for US residents overseas to buy books from BN.
It seems to me that the BN system is a bit dranconian but it is the systems that BN apparently feels it needs.
There are ways around it but if you are someone who is looking to travel or live overseas the Nook is less attractive because BN has their system on a complete lock down.
Someone who owns a Nook can shop at other stores and move books using the USB cable easily enough. But if their Nook breaks while they are overseas they are going to have problems. If my Kindle breaks while I am overseas, I can call Amazon and they will send me a replacement to my hotel.
I would say that is a large enough difference to make the Nook less attractive to a business person who travels overseas.
