I'm actually okay with the out of the box Nook firmware, if I could just change those two things.

If, by a "simple way" you mean a way that can be easily followed by the typical device user who loves to read but who has never had any occasion to learn about rooting, adb, or similar incantations, the answer, sadly, is no. When it comes to repartitioning, someone could come up with a step by step guide. However, the problem is - with due apologies to Paul Simon - "there must be fifty ways to brick your Glowlight" if you make a mistake. People who are experienced with the above incantations also make mistakes - shocking as that revelation may be! The difference is that they can figure out what their mistake was and then how to rectify it. The typical device user, following a guide and then making a mistake, does not understand what went wrong and hits a wall. It seems unfair to do that to anyone - unless that person is willing to ask for help on a forum like this one and work with a more experienced person to get the repartitioning done.
(I could have been more concise and simply said no, but where's the fun in that?)
