Did you call B&N? Do they still exist in the UK? What did they say?
If you're network-savvy, I wonder if it would register to a US-based B&N site? Maybe you could trick your Nook by hardcoding a US IP address for B&N registration into the hosts file on your router (spoof the DNS lookup that is evidently sending you to a dead UK-based B&N site). You could use a packet sniffer to determine the UK-based B&N domain name that the Nook is currently trying to connect to, so you know what you need to spoof. Finding the US-based B&N registration IP address would be tougher though.
A phone call to B&N would probably be easier. They can probably manually register it on their end, if they're willing.
