I ran into a problem trying to buy a nook book (Black Prism by Brent Week) from B&N.

I have a relative living in Canada. She is willing to buy a nook book for me. I put my name as an B&N account owner. My relative put her credit card details (card number, her name as appears on the card) as a default payment.

First, I put a US address as a billing address. (The same address as shipping address). The transaction failed miserably. I got a message that my order could not be processed. I also got an email from B&N that buyers of nook book have to be a resident of USA or Canada only. I guess that the problem came from the billing address did not match the actual card's registered address.

So I changed the billing address to Canadian address. This time it got better. But I still could not buy the book. When I press "BUY" button, I was told that such book was available in USA only.

Is there a trick to solve this problem? If not, how can I know which books are also available to a Canadian buyer, not just a US buyer.

I would really appreciate any suggestion.
