I am not limited to ePub. All my books are now in FB2, so if I can convert them to Kindle format (not sure whether I can), then I can use Kindle.

Why would you recommend Kindle over Nook?
You can purchase eBooks in ePub that do not come from B&N. The nook supports B&N's flavor of DRM and the standard Adobe Adept DRM that everyone else supports. So buying ePub from say Sony or Kobo will work just fine with your nook.

Now, if your FB2 have no DRM, you should be able to convert to ePub using Calibre. The advantage of ePub is that you can then use Sigil to edit the ePub if you need to tweak things after the conversion.
