I really hope that what you mentioned is why it did this. Y'all said a whole lot of other stuff that went over my head, so I hope it isn't any of that.
Well:
  1. Creating your own NookPress, or KDP account, is pretty much a necessity if you plan on making other people's books. Simply making the account and uploading the book for a TEST isn't publishing it. (Except on Smashwords, which is idiotic, but that's another discussion).
  2. KDP doesn't care if you sell somewhere else. KDP Select does. If she's simply publishing to KDP, then she can publish anywhere else.
  3. Regardless, as you'd just be testing a draft, that means you can check this at Nook now, yourself, instead of trying to troubleshoot it third-hand and via hearsay.

If a lot of what I said went over your head, to use your words, you may want to get your friend some professional assistance with this, because a great deal of what's been discussed on this thread is very, very basic stuff. Fundamental to ebook-making, not advanced at all. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, or be "mean," but it is. Which is a bit worriesome about the MOBI that is already being uploaded, not to mention the ePUB that seems to have inexplicable errors, not to mention this issue with the chapters not being found, which makes no sense whatsoever to me.

FWIW.
