And, isn't B&N the company which requires you to provide a credit card number as part of the unlocking DRM code?

Until B&N is willing to sell the device and e-books outside the US, it's really best to give them a pass if you are a full-time resident outside of the US. And wait until another provider offers wifi on an e-reader if that is such a tasty addition.

Kobo books work on a Nook. And usually what I do is buy from other sources that sell non DRM ebooks like in HTML or PDF and convert to epub. So far I haven't bought a single book from Kobo.

Also 95% of what I have on my Kobo is personal documents that I want to be able to read when at the hospital to make notes on then change when I get home on my computer.
