Amazon does have international stores (UK and Germany) that a US resident cannot buy books from even when visiting the UK and Germany due to legal reasons but a UK resident can buy books from the UK store while visiting the US.
The point, BN should be able to sell books to Nook owners who are US residents when they are outside of the US but does not.
Or Amazon has been breaking the law since the Kindle was released. At least, I was able to buy books for my K1 when I was in Australia before the international Kindle was available.

I'm not disagreeing that they shouldn't, I think it would be nice to download a book if overseas without having to connect to the computer.
My point is they aren't doing it because they are getting a kick out of it. You still have to have international licenses agreements in place etc.
Just take a look at Spotify (music streaming service) and how it took quite some time to be able to enter the US market.
