It used to be that they checked the IP address, so while in USA i could buy books, but it's rumoured that won't work anymore. WOn't be back in US until June, so I can't check that now.
Outside the US and Canada you also need to use an US VPN to get an US IP-address (like Hotspot Shield (free) or AlwaysVPN ($8.50)). Than you can use your PC to buy books, magazines and apps. Sync your Nook libary to download to the Nook.

Because some B&N books are available to Canada, US and Canadian IP-addresses are allowed. So for Canada an VPN is not needed.
