I already get email from students asking if any textbooks are available for the Kindle; it would be great if they could get textbooks on the nook.

B&N doesn't run its own digital textbook store at the moment. The following link leads to MBS, the company that does it for B&N (look for the ones in Epub):
http://www.digitaltextbooks.com/
If B&N runs your campus bookstore, then currently this is the company that you'll buy digital textbooks from. (One of them, at least.) There should be a page for your school, but it only exists if some of the textbooks your school uses are available in digital form. There aren't all that many digital textbooks out there at the moment, so I wouldn't hold your breath. But you can check for a dedicated page by googling:
"your school" site:bn.digitaltextbooks.com.
My school, for example, doesn't have a page. So far as I can tell none of the textbooks my school uses are available.
