First, my older eyes agree with you, reading for me with a backlit device is too straining on the eyes.

Is it possible to use Calibre to change this? Is it so much work that it would be easier to buy the book again for the Nook? (It's only $10 so won't break the bank.) Or I could just read it on the iPad, though I'd like it for the Nook.
The book you bought is restricted via DRM and thus can't be converted directly by calibre to ePub. That said, Google Apprentice Alf's Blog, there is info there on adding third party (read not available through calibre's interface) plugins to calibre that should allow you to remove the DRM restriction. Providing detailed instructions here is against Mobileread policy.

Once the DRM restriction is removed calibre can convert the resultant mobi file to ePub for use on your Nook.

Good Luck.
