I hope you'll be luckier; please post here if you find a (relatively simple) way to downgrade that doesn't require any coding knowledge.
I will definitely pass along any information I find. I haven't written anything at XDA yet but I still plan to do so. I also have trouble deciphering all the terms they use — mostly tech shorthand. Definitely geared towards those who understand Android development. But they do know how to manually download the old Nook firmware (and there are links), so that's a step in the right direction. I think something called TWRP let's you restore an image. But I'm not even sure about that. And, if it does, can you register (to use) your Nook offline without being forced to update – which would just be an endless loop.

I'll let you know what I find.
