Let me see if I can break it down. Its a subtle difference but an important one.
A kindle is tethered to an account. I am not completely sure if you can untether it either, though it may be possible.
The only thing a nook is tethered too is the simcard and cellular service for its AT&T account.
What this means is that I can buy a Nook use for a year then reset it to factory default give it to my grandma and she can go on her marry way. No ties to me or my content.
Going beyond the device we have the e-books you purchase through B&N. These are also not tethered to your account. Meaning you can use them with out logging into B&N or using a device registered to your account. All you need is the password which is the credit card you purchased the book with.
What this means is that you can transfer it to any device that is capable of reading the format (which I think is epub can someone confirm?) and enter the password and read it.
I hope this helps clear this all up. These are somewhat subtle and not so obvious differences from what I understand that kindle provides.
