If you don't want to use the Nook's Wi-fi features, then there isn't much advantage to buying books from B&N. Most books are priced the same due to agency pricing and for those that aren't I usually find better deals with coupons at other stores.
I have Sony ereaders and also a NOOKcolor. I very rarely buy any books from B&N since their DRM won't work on my Sony ereaders. What I have done is to authorize my Nook to the same Adobe account that works with DRM'ed purchases from the Sony store, BoB, Kobo, your local library, etc. You can authorize your Nook using the Adobe Digital Editions software. That way all of your purchases from these other bookstores will work on both your Nook and your Sony without needing to remove DRM. The only frustration is the Nook internal memory limit on how many non-B&N books you can add to the Nook, and you might need to purchase a memory card.
As others have noted, you can add DRM'ed books to calibre and then send them to your Nook device just like you would send them to your Sony.
