I guess the point is that I'd have to learn how to do that if my Nook broke, and Nooks weren't being made anymore, and I wanted to read my books on a Kobo or something.

It's been a LONG time since I used my B&N account, but isn't there a place on the Account management page that allows you to enter a new credit card number? I have NEVER encountered any web site that doesn't allow you to update that information. (and any that don't should be avoided at ALL costs)
But unless things have changed, B&N ebooks, have a special DRM protection on them even if they are EPUB files so that they can only be read on B&N readers. You are likely to be forced into manually removing the DRM protection to read them on different devices anyway. (The primary reason why I don't use B&N for anything anymore)
