I have a US nook and live in UK

I registered online for a nook account whilst in NY.
I entered two addresses, one a NY address of a friend and the other my UK home address.

I also registered my normal UK credit card.

I can buy books fine from BN store directly on the nook or on the web.
Not sure how much of the above was necessary but it works!
The shop assistant in the BN store did tell me that he knew it works for internatonal customers but only if they did the initial registration on the BN website whilst physically on a PC in the USA. I have not had to test registering in the UK though
