Can I buy legal ebooks from any other sites?

Can I manually upload EPUB files from public domain websites?

If so, do I simply connect it to the USB on my PC and drag and drop the files?
I can only answer the last question: yes, you can manually upload epub files from public domain websites to the nook via the USB: just drag and drop into the My Documents folder on the nook. I live in the US but don't plan on buying many ebooks from B&N site (well, maybe once a while), but I have tons of Chinese classic novels in .txt format which I use Calibre to convert to epubs and I am a subscriber to www.ebooks-library.com (I believe it's hosted in the UK) where I have got tons of public domain English novels in PDF format, these will last me a decade I guess.
