Apparently they must be able to tell from my IP address that I am currently overseas. I have tried to purchase books and apps, and everything has been cancelled. B&N have not replied to my email saying I live both in USA and New Zealand. I'm really ticked off about this as I purchased the Nook Colour in-store at B&N in Orange, California, as it was highly rated in Consumer Reports. No one said that it wouldn't do me any good overseas!  |
I also live in NZ & have The Touch working fine. Hope yours is also now.
Unless you configure your router you will not be able to use the Nook directly to purchase books,. I use both B & N & also Kobo to get books onto the PC & then load to the reader.
1) I use Hide MY IP and select a US IP address
2) Register with B & N with any US address
3)Install Calibre
4)get DRM removal tools from Alfs Blog
5) Load the plugins into Calibre per instructions
6) Purchase & download the book to the PC
7)Load to Calibre
8)Download the Metadata into calibre (summary & Cover)
9) convert epub to Epub, Under structure detection tick the box for insert metadata. (This will then show the front cover & summary in the ereader)
10) load to Ereader
11) BACK UP THE BOOKS TO ANOTHER HARD DRIVE
12) Delete the Book from B & N (Will stop the book showing twice if you connect wirelessly (I don't)
