I also have "Nook for PC" and I had the same trouble with this when trying to buy and download the same book even though it had in big bright orange letters "buy it now." Would anybody know the reason why this is or what I may be doing wrong?
4. My final question is this. If and when I do get to download this book and all I can do is download it in "Nook for PC" for example, is there a way I can transfer or import it from there and place it in the Calibre software interface?

"Its shop?" Calibre does not have a store. As far as your problem with Nook's software, I do not know. You need to supply more information.
As far as your fourth question, yes, you just have to click the add book button in Calibre and locate the ebook file on your computer. However, you will not be able to do much with the ebook in Calibre, because of the DRM. 99% of the time when you buy a book, especially through B&N as you mentioned, it will have DRM on it. DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and basically is a way of restricting what you can and cannot do with the file. Anything that is not authorized to edit or view a file, cannot make changes to it. Calibre kind of works around this, by not actually altering a file when you change the tags, but rather just remembering your changes, and passing that info along with the ebook at time of transfer. You also will not be able to read a book with DRM in Calibre.
