Nook is contractually obligated to setup those ebookstores and to stock them with ebooks as part of their deal with Microsoft. With Microsoft taking over development and distribution of the Windows reading app, those stores are effectively Microsoft ebookstores, with Nook serving the role of Bluefire, Txtr, or Overdrive. This gives MS contingency options in case Nook goes away.
