Thanks! Can you only buy books at that B&N store or anywhere?

if you go to the B&N nook part of this forum, you will find a thread "international options" it's a sticky... you will find an explanation on how to buy books from B&N.

I buy all my books from B&N and never hand a problem (after I used the method covered in that thread)

You have to do similar for many books you might wish to buy, not all of kobo or Amazon range is available for the Australian market. So I use the method. for B&N and buy any book I wish.

You can use that same method to buy books from any of the US stores. It makes a lot more books available to you no matter what reader you buy.

MorganM · 06-03-2011, 07:49 AM

So basically put a fake US addy in?

iandix · 06-03-2011, 07:50 AM

yes and a ip masking service such as hotspot shield or alwaysvpn

ProfCrash · 06-03-2011, 08:03 AM

Make sure it is a good fake addy. Don't use the White House or BN headquarters.

The Libra pro can not obtain books from BN but can from most everywhere else.

iandix · 06-03-2011, 08:20 AM

I use linux and have alwaysVPN running on that ...

troberts · 06-03-2011, 09:58 AM

yes It was the Kobo WiFi version, not the touch. Still a good price in my neck of the woods.

ProfCrash · 06-03-2011, 10:03 AM

That is a good price. It would have been amazing if it was one of the new ones.
