Hi all,

I am based in Europe and although I am familiar with the restrictions for International users for the Nook it is still my preferred ebook reader.
I am nearly decided on shipping it with Bundle Box - anyone know of another trustworthy company doing shipping forwarding from the US with good prices?

What is worrying me is the Nook warranty. The warranty is only for the US, however, should I ship it through Bundle Box or something of the sort - would I be covered with warranty? Since strictly speaking I will have a US address with them - maybe I will be covered?

Anyone buying the Nook from out the US I would appreciate your feedback. I have seen various online posts where Nook buyers say that they have had their Nook replaced because it was faulty and this worries me! Is this very common?

I do have another alternative - to buy it from an Ebay seller and if there are any faults or I need to use the warranty he claims I can send it back and pay 50 dollars shipping and he will replace it with a new or refurbished one, but is this safe? How do I know the seller will still be there?

I would really appreciate any other international buyers or prospective buyers join in and discuss these issues.

Thanks!
