I bought a Nook Color last year and it works a treat in the UK, except that I can't buy the books or the apps. I use Calibre a lot, so I can send books to both my Kindle and my NC so that's not too big a problem. And until recently my NC was rooted.
Still prefer the Nook Color for one simple reason - the micro SD card slot. I love the convenience of being able to switch or expand the memory. I don't like being limited to 8g, and since I travel a fair bit, I don't like being dependent on the cloud. Once they bring out a 3G Fire, I might consider it.
The SO Kindles have made their way out of the US and have not had any problems. You cannot take advantage of the offers but the Kindles work fine.

You will have to find someone in the US to buy it for you and ship it to you though.
