is it Yahoo or Yahoo! for example, for the name of the company
Yahoo! is definitely the correct of the two there.

As for nook, it's lower case n and I base that on their marketing imagery which uses a curve-topped 'n' somewhat promoting the lower-case nature of the name. It's common to lower-case a proper name when you want to push the idea of it being a common component of a lifestyle as opposed to an identifiable entity. BN wants you to feel like having a nook is just par for the course and not having one is as strange as not having a couch or a table.
