I haven't tried it, but I believe the Nook Simple Touch can do what you are asking AFTER rooting. Theoretically it should work, but I'm just not sure if the kernel includes the right feature.

I do know that the Nook touch, after rooting works GREAT with Dropbox. I store my calibre library inside the dropbox directory on my home (and work) computer, and my nook touch can access that directory using the dropbox app anywhere I have wifi access (not just at home). This for me is more flexible than file sharing on a home network, that is why I haven't tried the file sharing.
