The fact that it worked with italics also points at a default Nook font problem. My guess is that the Big-Six books are using their own embedded font - this is quite common - I believe they do this to guarantee more uniformity across devices and avoid issues exactly like this one. You'd have to strip the DRM to see. The users on the Sigil & epub authoring sub-forums would be better prepared to walk you through how to embed fonts, that's not something you can really do with Calibre, and there are several threads covering how to do that there.
