GoodEReader was the only one selling Nooks outside the US. I had no problems with them.
As to the availability of Kobo, I actually had to do some searching to get my Libra. It's not sold locally, Kobo didn't want to ship to my country and neither did a couple of French and Spanish stores I tried next. Several stores had cheaper Kobos in stock, but not the more expensive ones, the Forma and the Libra. Finally I got the Libra from a store in the Netherlands. So, imho Kobo readers are not actually so widely available outside the US and Canada and perhaps a few more countries. At least that's my personal experience.
