If you are traveling with a business laptop, then you probably already have client software installed which you use for a secure, remote-access VPN connection to your company's servers. If you are traveling with a personal laptop, then I have seen other posts on MR that recommend various freeware options. Try a search if you want more info.

It sounds like from Asawi's post that you don't need VPN software for any purchases made through the Sony software as it doesn't matter if the IP location is non-US based. There may be other websites that you might purchase books from that you would need it. If you are happy with the Sony store, then don't worry about it and make your purchases over the T1 wirelessly. Or, make them from your laptop and transfer them.
