I don't know how BN intend to compete, provided that they restrict themselves only to the US markets. The market for books is, in my opinion, intrinsically global, and the sellers who reach out internationally, will gain a competitive edge.
For now Bookdepository and Kobo could serve as a replacement for me for BN store, but Kindle is still an option, due to the bigger variety of the Amazon store.

Very strange you could buy e-books from B&N this way. That should not have been possible.
You should still be able to buy B&N e-books from the B&N website, using your PC:
1. Register your B&N account with an US shipping and billing address. Any valid US address will work, just Google something.
2. Install a VPN on your PC, like Hotspot Shield (free) or AlwaysVPN ($8.50).
To buy e-books first start the VPN. When the VPN is active go to the B&N website and buy the books. After the books have been bought you can sync the library of the Nook to download the books using the Wifi connection.
