The nook screen has some dead zones and changes some of the system tools like the system dialog box and system settings. I'm sure nook apps must customize the UI to handle these issues.
An example is ezPDF, this app just does not work properly on CM7 or nook because some of the buttons are placed in a zone where the screen does not reponde. I'm guessing ezPDF would have to alter their UI to work with the nook.

Actually the hardware is really good for the price (it has the same capacity as the iPad and Tab). It's just that awful customized OS they put on it that stinks. I think you give to much credit to the nook on their 1.1 software, I was ready to return the device. Had I not rooted and then ultimately upgrade the OS I would have returned it and written off the nook.
Folks that have updated their device to run say CM7 and installed real eReading apps like (Alkdio/Moon/CoolReader/ezPDF/RepliGo) are really enjoying an excellent product.
