Hmm.

Seeing the work that a web site maintainer seems to do to get a pleasing and useable display from HTML with four different releases of five browsers plus mobile users. you'll be lucky.

And though Amazon supplies a emulator that covers every Kindle model there seems to be no such thing for Nook.
