Also (since I'm asking here anyway), can a nook user simply copy an ePub from their nook to another person's nook (well, to a person whom they trust with their credit card)? Will the nook prompt for the CCN, or will it only try to use the CCN of the account tied to that particular nook?

I don't have a Nook to test this with, but that is the way it has been advertised to work (and is definitely the way that eReader has always worked). You can have multiple username/password pairs "on file" on the same device. I have several for eReader. If an ebook comes in (eReader or ePub) with a new password you should get prompted for that credit card name and number. It will then be on file for the next ebook and you won't need to add it again. If you use the same credit card for eReader and ePub you might have to add it twice (I'm not sure), because what is saved is not the credit card info but a 1-way hash of that info and the hash might be different for ePub.
I agree that having someone with a Nook test this would be good. They would need two B&N accounts with different credit cards on file, and the ePubs from the second account would need to be "side loaded" over USB.
