I assume you understand that you need to buy the books from the B&N website on your PC with the VPN active, not using the shop function of your Nook?

I recently had a problem with my credit card suddenly not being accepted. I finally solved that problem by deregistering my Nook, changing the e-mail address of my account (new gmail address), and registering the Nook again to the new e-mail address. I used the VPN when changing the e-mail address.
I have no idea what caused this problem. And I do not know if changing the e-mail address was really necessary. Perhaps reregistering the Nook would have been enough.
I have decided to use the VPN every time I login to my B&N account, not just when I am buying books, just in case that was the cause of my problem.
I`m going to do as you did: de-register my nook and then create a new account (new email,billing and shipping address. Same name and credit card tough). Do you think it`s worth to pay for a vpn connection like ALWAYSVPN? I read the post where you explain that due to problems in buying books you changed alwaysvpn for HOTSPOTSHIELD. Since you`ve used both sevices i would like to know your opinion in that matter.
