I was given a Barnes and Nobles Nook for Christmas.  I live in the Middle East and current books are not easy to come by.  So my family gave me the Nook so that I could order the latest books to read.  They accepted the overseas credit card and money without informing us that you have to be PHYSICALLY present in the U.S.A. to buy NookBooks.  I have tried using my parents address in the US and my American credit card and all I get from BN are not very nice emails.
