Quick and easy.
The problem being that the Nook ST doesn't HAVE a browser. There were two different exploits that let you access a browser anyway, but B&N "fixed" that in a software update.

One of the many reasons why Nook is a horrible choice; why buy a device from a company that actually WANTS to screw you? For no gain whatsoever?

That being said, Kindle absolutely lets you download books through the built-in browser, and not only that, Amazon touts it as a feature, because Amazon is attempting to <shudder> make customers happy.

Or you could root the Nook ST and install a web browser. By the same extension, you could install the dropbox app. The Nook is running a derivative Android, and rooting will allow you to install apps straight from Google Play.
