Okay! I have macOS Monterey as well! ADB enables you to send commands from your Mac to your Nook. I set up ADB on my Mac a while back, so I'll need to refresh myself on how it's done, in case anything changed along the way. You'll need ADB to install the first apps on your Nook.
You'll find a terminal in Launchpad under the
Other group of icons. You'll run ADB commands with that terminal.
If you'd like, I can put together some instructions for you - probably tomorrow - as to how to do this.
There will be three basic steps:
(1) set up ADB on your Mac
(2) set up your Nook to recognize ADB commands by enabling USB Debugging
(3) installing apps on your Nook by using ADB
I'll outline the process in more detail when I do my instructions.
You will not need to root your Nook in order to do what you want to do (as far as I know). If you decide that you want to root your Nook, that will be its own set of instructions!
PS - If anyone with a Windows PC is interested, I can add a line about how to easily install basic ADB in Windows.
