Because a small number of books at B&N are available for Canada, Canadian IP addresses are allowed. That is why people from Canada only need an US address, not an VPN.

The geo-restrictions are only active when buying books. You can download books that have been bought anywhere in the world (this is clearly stated in the Nook manual and the support FAQ).
