thanks for the info, that is very helpful. i was afraid of IP restrictions. i'm not going to be away from the US for about a year, so i don't want any problems buying overseas

B&N's NOOK apparently restricts IP addresses overseas, at least that's their customer service said. they said you can't even download their ebooks from the website because they restrict your IP from their store. i can't verify that myself, but their CS explained it that way
