I have had no problems at all buying and downloading books from B&N I have an Australian visa card and I have used both hotspotshield and alwaysvpn.
I have read some of your past posts and you appear to be someone who knows what he is doing, so what I'm about to say might sound stupid ..I'm sorry :-) But have you checked to see if your (VPN) ip address is a US based one? run the vpn service you have and try this site http://whatismyipaddress.com/ My only other idea, is cancel your account and start a new one using your vpn service when you create it. Make sure you have a valid US address for both billing and delivery good luck |

Make sure that you have made your credit card the default credit card. Even when you have only registered one credit card, this card will not automatically be your default credit card. The B&N DRM needs a default credit card to encrypt and download the books. |

Hi PR users!
To use your NOOk in Puerto Rico add zipcode 00926 regardless of where you live in Puerto Rico. Happy reading |

I'm wondering where can I buy a NOOKcolor and have it shipped outside the US other than eBay with a reasonable shipping...? The original box is nicely designed but costs so much to ship.

BN for Puerto Rico
Dear B&N developers: Hope you are seeing this.
Why, in your User manual, you mention that bookms can be downloaded in Puerto Rico. Attached the part of the manual thats says so. Then, I login, and I receive and error that is international. I call customer service and they told me to use San Juan Zipcode, 00926. I tried that and in the begining seems to work, and I choose Puerto Rico address as default, but I also had configured a US address. All look ok, I was able to download, but, I remove the US address, and do not work with the zipcode. If you are putting that info in the User Manual, why is not working? this is no good!! When B&N expect to fix this issue? thanks |

So im pretty new to this. Just got my Nook. I assume you cant just buy a giftcard and purchase ebooks that way? i live in Canada.
I have a CC but it has my current cdn billing address. I'm guessing this matters? |

they don't check billing address, so you can give a US one and you will need to run a vpn service ... read older post in this thread

well, I set my shipping address as a us address. But billing was still cdn. so the reason ity failed was because of the lack of vpn service?
would a gift card be just as easy? |

the billing address should be a US address as well and you need to run a VPN service. A gift card does not get around the fact you are not in the US.
just use a VPN service ..get hot spot shield or one of the others talked about in this thread |

I just have the box checked in my account that says my shipping address (US) is the same as my billing address (my credit card is still Canadian). I will try to buy another book and see if it works still.

In another thread last week I have mentioned that since the end of last week my orders get cancelled. It looks indeed like B&N is checking the billing address of my credit card (Dutch Visa credit card, US billing address). The strange thing is that no-one else has mentioned any problems yet.
