[Q] NT use outside of US

---

does the registration process check on your location/IP address such that if you're outside the US, you're unable to register & eventually use the NT?

i read somewhere here that even on a rooted NT, you can't bypass the registration process w/ B&N to start using (& eventually rooting) it. i've been keeping tabs on these NT forums with plans of buying one for use outside of the US. (courtesy of the root exploit, of course).

TIA for any merciful god/s out there!

also, this might be a good thread for all general concerns on using the NT, rooted or otherwise, internationally

just like NC, it should have no problems.

so, you could easily register from anywhere in the world with no hassle?

yes, i've registered mine from Italy 2 days ago and no problems.
of course the services that works only in us will not work but... for the whole rest tablet is working sooooo good!

I heard from one of the B&N booksellers in person that you can register but you will not be able to purchase anything from B&N outside of US.

But the same B&N account can be used to register up to 5 devices. I am in US now and I will be gifting a NT to my niece in India registered with my account. So whatever I purchase here, she will be able to download and read there without any issue.

I ensure that I will not misuse it or purchase or use it, besides in India the account will not work. Please consider my request. Please.....

Why don't you enter any U.S. adress, for example the adress of a Barnes and Noble store? The adress you enter to register your device should not matter, considering you will not buy anything directly from B&N anyway.

And by the way, stop spamming threads with your request.

and there are many consumer shipping forwarders which offer a us shipping address for free. like shipitto, comgateway, etc...

thank you

thank you very much for your reply. By the way I am no spammer. . i think you know how you will feel when you bought a device at an extra $60 and it does not run. i bought the nook in India from a third-party with no bill or warranty.
i would consider your solution, but will not the B&N server want a proper credit card address. Guys i am not forcing anyone to share their account, there may be other possibilities that i do not know, so please help me with any advice not just your account.

Would this work?

YOU ARE A SPAMMER - You're littering your pleas all over the place.

We understand your frustration that not able to use a device that you paid a lot of money for. But that doesn't deprive us of our right to enjoy a enjoyable forum experience.

Seriously, XDA does not have the most behaving forum - Lots of noob and useless posts and that. But your spams are on another level!

This is not a playground that you can come and shout around. Well, even at a playground I guess you have to behave yourself.

I will give you the benefit of doubt that you're new to this thing called Internet forums, maybe things are little bit different over there in India or the forums you used to be, but stop doing it or I'm sure the mods will ban your account very soon.

No one in his right sense of mind will give you, someone we don't know at all, his bn.com account with the credit card information. This is soooooo stupid to ask in the first place and so I believe you have no malicious purpose.

But we still won't.

PS To avoid us being labelled racists or discriminate against Indians, lots of us are *not* from the US nor Europe.

see if this helps too http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/...ok/td-p/787914
