Answers.Text: That takes care of the transfer but not the conversion to the Nook's native format. Reading a PDF formatted file on an E-ink device is generally pretty terrible, and that includes Nook. So I was wanting to know if it's possible to do something that is as simple (or nearly as simple) as sending A PDF to Kindle while also automatically converting to Kindle format. For Kindle, all that is needed is to send an attached PDF to your Kindle email address with "convert" as subject.

Comments.Text: I guess your goal is to obtain an epub version that is readable on your nook. First point: a PDF file can be a collection of scanned pages - essentially a number of large images. Converting that to epub just gives you an epub file with those images. Not so readable. Assuming your PDF file has text, you can convert it - there are websites that take a PDF and return epub; there are commercial products that do it. I use Calibre to do this exact thing. The big caveat here is the readability of the epub file will depend on the source PDF.

Comments.Text: Connecting via USB cable is fine - though obviously that adds an extra step. I long ago abandoned using a Nook to read a PDF-converted-to-ePub as there were too many steps (compared with Kindle which is trivial). If it can be reduced to 2-3 steps (with plugging in USB cable as one step) that would be great.
