conceivably, you could order from either your Kindle, or your Amazon account online (it is possible for it to "remember you" and your details) when you first set it up and never have to log on, register, enter a password or anything else ever again

Exactly because your device is registered to that account all ready. The nook *DOES NOT* work like this at all.
Your device contacts B&N to get data according to the account that the device is setup to use. You can change that account as you see fit on the device itself. When you do so your content (books etc) are not deleted from the device, but rather only your information linked to your account is removed, such as highlights, notations, currently reading information etc. Also, you will need to setup an account on the device to purchase from the store.
I hope that explains the difference. While you do not have your account on your device you can read any books on the device by providing the DRM password.
