so its possible to dowload your own pdfs and epubs from your pc?
You can "sideload" ePUBs and PDFs. Meaning: They go into the documents folder instead of the library folder (exclusively reserved for B&N downloads).
There are some minor disadvantages (*) to books, purchased from B&N: You can't sort by last read and you don't have thumbnails for the covers.

You don't have to purchase from B&N, you can buy from 3rd party as well.

(*) You can "hack" (= softroot) your nook. It's easy and adds tons of features. For example additional sort function and thumbnails for the covers.
And you can simplify the upload process. Not via USB, but via webserver.

.lit is the Microsoft reader format, thus you won't find it on any non-Windows platforms.
BeBook One/Hanlin V3 can read non-DRMed .lit files.
DRMed .lit files you have to strip from DRM (copy protection) and convert to other formats your reader can handle. Very easy process, which even can be automated.
