A MobileRead user offered this description: It is a stripped down version of Android not locked or really even hidden (version 4.4.2). No Google play, no Google services. Nook library is set as launcher. You can use ADB to side load a launcher, file explorer, reader, dictionary, etc. and never have to use the B&N software. Without rooting even.
[edit] Publishing with Barnes and Noble
They supply a program called Pubit to generate an eBook for publishing at Barnes and Noble. There is documentation available on the requirements as well.
