If so, can you take their nook, enter your credit card number yourself, and hand it back to them?
My thoughts are if I will risk my life for certain family and friends then they can have my credit card number.

This thread is getting so big we need internal hyperlinks!
As you can see you need not ever give the user of the device your CC#. Once
you have "initialized" the device, the unreadable hash code is used to open any
ebooks that need that unlocking data.
With Amazon they have your computer, and the few devices they allot to
your account - then all your ebook purchases; tied together through their
(Amazon's) server. The info on their server establishes whether the ebook
you purchased from them can be read on your device, and it only allows
that for the listed "authorized" devices for your account, as maintained on
their server. (I think it was 5 devices when they started, don't know if that
is still the number, now a days.)
