nooks can display side loaded ePub no problem. The software on the nook ST os rubbish. The device is seriously partitioned with not all that much space left for side loading. Another thing is the font rendering software does not do all that good a job. When I last used the nook ST, I had a Sony Reader PRS-T1 and comparing the ST to the T1, the ST was lousy at font rendering compared to the T1.

The major issue with the 6" nook with front light is that the front light is very delicate and you can easy get scratches and/or pin holes. Rubbish!

And all nooks have awful software. If you have to root and install another reading program to be able to actually use it, then it's not worth owning.
