So far my experience with PDF on nook is...bad.
The ePub stuff is great, etc., but the PDF support is a little wonky right now. For example, I have my nook's font set to "Extra Small". Well, with that setting the text in PDF files is unreadable and microscopic. If I set the font then to "Medium," the PDF generally becomes readable.
Keep in mind the nook also has no ability to switch screen orientation. So putting PDFs into landscape mode is not an option. The books I have don't really have contents, some free novels I downloaded, so I can't really check links and such for ya.
The title pages of the books is generally a full page graphic -- which doesn't show up as full page on the nook if the font isn't at least Medium. Why the graphics are dependent on the font setting, I do not know.
There's some other weird graphics issues as well. For example, one book I'm trying has a couple of map pages in the beginning, laying out the fantasy world. These show up as blank on my nook. Likewise, reverse text is not reversed. The dedication page text is not centered on the nook, but is on my PC. Etc. etc. etc.
That said, paragraph breaks are honored, so text seems quite readable. To be honest, I haven't really sat down with some of these books, as I'm still organizing and trying things out on the device. But these are my intial impressions of the PDF support...
