My experience in Mexico with B&N. We are snowbirds. Our permanent home is in the USA.
When I tried to buy a book, the first one was free to test the process, I went through process - even gave my credit card for the free book. The B&N book reader app on my PC even saw the book, but I could not download or read it immediately. The message was "there was a problem call customer service 1-800-THE- BOOK". I called. First level support answered reasonably rapidly. However, they sent me to technical support - which was deluged.
I gave up. I bought the free book again - same problem. I then used a VPN to the USA and the problem disappeared. It seems that if you buy the book AND download it from a foreign country using a US based VPN - then the B&N PC APP can download it even without the VPN.
