Publishing at B&N is a similar process to that of Amazon--there's very little oversight at either. I'm guessing if it is less common it's due to less traffic at B&N (most of us sell less than half at B&N compared to Amazon). The process is just as easy at all places I upload. Different formatting is required, so that is an "extra" step to get it onto other retailers. If authors choose to go into Amazon exclusive program (more advertising ops are said to occur for those in the select program) they stand to sell even more copies on Amazon.
Or it could be that authors believe there are more Kindles out there than Nooks/kobos/etc.
