Default [Q] Replacement USB charging cable in Europe?

For those of us outside the USA that have purchased the Nook, it doesn't seem that there's any way to buy an official replacement USB cable.

My Nook slipped off the table and landed on the carpet. It survived unscathed, but the micro USB plug basically just folded over, splitting the case slightly. I can bend it back into shape but the connection is not solid, and I'm not comfortable using it.

Ebay lists many NC "compatible" chargers, but it seems unlikely that any of them will actually give proper charging speeds. Does anyone know of a reliable 3rd party charger, or a way to get B&N to ship an official one outside the USA?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about shipping outside of the US, but I recently found out that B&N will replace your charging cable free due to lots of factory defects. *mine was cracked when I got it, and slowly deteriorated over time. Called their tech support line and before I could even ask they offered to replace/ship it for me. Worth a try. At the worst they might just charge you for the international shipping, but since your not paying for the charger it wouldn't be too bad I would think.
