The stock Nook reader will not be able to find these books, though. It looks only in its own folder and in the sideload partition. So, you'll need reader apps to go along with any books you put on by CC.
And if you go the ADB route, you can no longer use the reading software that comes with the nook and you then have to find a reading app that works and works with whatever version Android is used. A lot of Android reading apps do not respect the CSS properly. That makes finding a good reading app that will work with the nook not an easy task. It jut doesn't make sense to have to change the reading app just because of the partitioned storage.
