You can't buy new books for the nook while overseas. I live in Russia, and have tried. If you use a VPN service it might work, to trick B&N into thinking that you are in America.
With Amazon, you can purchase outside of the U.S. for an extra $2 per book. However, it can work that you go in and set your Geographical location to the U.S. and it won't charge the extra fee. I've done that with free books and it has worked when purchasing from the website, not directly on the Kindle. If you buy them on the Kindle while out of the country, I think you will have to pay the $2 "roaming" charge.
But there are other websites that you can purchase from to get books when overseas, although they don't generally have the selection that either one of them has. But I think most of the ones I use you could side-load onto the nook.
