[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.

Hi,
My name is Mohamed Asiq, I from India. I have a nook tablet, but have not registered it yet. So please I kindly request you to allow me to use your nook account. 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/t5/NOOK-Technical-Support/No-credit-card-for-nook/td-p/787914

I don't think you need a VPN. You need a credit card with a US address, the physical location of the tablet shouldn't matter.

You don't even need a credit card to register your device. I registered mine without inputting my credit card information. You can register with B&N without a card, they just won't let you download anything from their app store. Load the Android market on instead and you'll have access to everything.
so everything is okay now, right?

Hi everyone!! Quick question :)

Hello dear fellow Transformer Prime owners!! I just purchased one today for my wife to surprise her because she is starting up school again and she wanted a tablet, so what better than the Transformer Prime lol
My question is, I literally just opened the box... and I would really like to get it school-ready for her when she comes back, because she's starting this summer and she has classes starting next week.
Now what I mean by "school-ready" is simple, I would like her to be able to read e-books (because I am getting e-book version of her books that she needs for class) so that she can read them and use them, I would also like her to be able to use Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc... is that possible on this tablet?
Because she has a writing class and she would like to be able to type essays and stuff on their.
So please help me and let me know how I can do all that, and if you have any other recommendations for the tablet to get it "school-ready", please share!!!
Thank you soooooooooooo much in advance, all help will be greatly appreciated

[Q] Ripping Kindle Books from Android Device?

I have searched a bit but couldn't find an end all solution to what might be a rapidly evading problem but I recently purchased a book from the Kindle store and had it delivered to my phone. It would be nice if I could read it as a PDF [or anything, really] on my PC but my efforts have been fruitless. running a rooted T-Mobile Note 2 but I doubt that matters. Any tips? comments?

[Q] Capabilities of the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9

Before hand, I'd like to apologize for my ignorance of not skimming through every thread here and finding the particular information I am looking for.
I do see that at the moment, the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 cannot be rooted. Now, I've never previously owned any Kindle devices or Amazon products rather, but I want to know what I could do with a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. I love reading, and have been purchasing near 80 books on Amazon for a ridiculous amount of money─so I am buying a Kindle.
I have owned and do own several Android devices, all rooted, and I know what I can do with them. Is it similar? One thing I have never bothered to look into were custom roms, what would a custom rom on a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 do? Just change the gui?
My main question is, can I download pdfs, ebooks, MOBI (etc) files and move them to the Kindle to read them without purchasing them from the Amazon store or wherever else?
Thanks guys, appreciate it.

brand new brand new units still on rootable software
A brand new Kindle HDX may ship with firmware that is rootable. My HDX 7 was one of them. I don't think there is a guarantee, but when you get a new HDX and go through the setup process, do NOT connect it to a WiFi network. Once it is up, immediately turn on airplane mode and check your version of firmware. If it is rootable, root it and immediately block OTA.
