Tad late to reply because I get the digest and had a very full day.  Also, I 
don't have a nook but have a Google branded ASUS tablet.

On standard (if there is such a thing) Android tablets there is an ap called 
"on the go".  It turns the one-way, micro-USB interface into a true USB 
storage device.  You also need an A-micro (male) to B (female) USB cable.

I also had some luck with a bluetooth connection but that was a little slow.  
Handy as a backup though if you don't have the right cable when you need it.

Cheers,
Dave
