It is based off of the older eReader software, still available at eReader.com, that was originally designed by Palm for its PDAs way back when. It is interesting and sad that the newer Barnes & Noble Desktop eReader has far less functionality than eReader, and according to the User Guide this is by design!
I haven't used the older eReader software, so I can't compare. But I can say that the Nook is running Adobe's Reader Mobile software, so it's features are comparable to other readers that use RM.
