I still don't know how to view it in the iThing app, though. Does anyone?

FYI, please note that Nook for PC and the actual device do NOT render the same--not even close. I have both, and they are worlds apart. Dropcaps that work on one will not on the other, and ADE no longer synchs to how NookColor renders. Worse, you can't delete ANY book you sideload to Nook for PC (go ahead--try it), EVER, unless you delete it from the directory and then completely UNinstall and REinstall the Nook for PC app. No, I'm not making this up; I even spoke to B&N about it.
The days when you could make a book with anything other than the most basic, vanilla text and have it render "mostly" across devices are over; we're repeatedly having to make "Nook version" epubs versus "iPad version" epubs, and it's going to get worse with ePUB3.
In short: don't believe what you see on any rendering engine other than the device itself.
@ATimson: you can add epubs to the iBook app via Dropbox, on the iPad, ditto Kindle books on the Kindle reading app on the iPad. Just open in your dropbox app, and when it says you can't read it in dropbox, you can select an alternate reader via the arrow in the upper-right-hand-corner of the DB app.
