Welcome to mobileread!
The nook should be able to read ePubs - both non-DRM, Adobe DRM and the new B&N DRM ones. So you will have a large choice of ebook stores - everyone except Amazon is now selling ePubs.
We'll all be very interested to hear about your experiences with the nook.

I am looking forward to learning all I can about e-readers, e-books, and dealing with the various formatting issues discussed here, particularly since I am a techno-phobe and will be terrified the first time I download something that isn't from B&N's site. I'm also still researching other readers, just in case the Spring Design lawsuit results in a halt to shipping (which seems doubtful, but I'm a worrier).
Very glad this forum is here. My teenager hates that I am jumping on the e-reader bandwagon and is convinced this will be the death of books and libraries. But I just can't help it--we have no room for all the books I buy, and I very much need a reader with adjustable font sizes so that I can read with or without my reading glasses, etc.
Looking forward to sharing ideas here.
