When I first published my Carstensz book HERE, I had several hundred people complain that there was no Nook copy available, so right after it was up on Amazon, I spent the two weeks getting it published and approved and up on Nook. That was two weeks of fairly intense work.
Of those hundreds of people who asked for a Nook copy, about one hundred said "Thank you very much, just got one!" and two actually paid for it. After two weeks of hard work at a labor cost of approximately $500 I earned $3.60.
After about 6 months and no further sales, I pulled it off of Nook, and then switched to Amazon Prime, which carries an exclusivity contract requiring that you do not have your book listed on any other digital sales website or app, including your own website as a PDF. Within a week I made way more than that $3.60 that cost me $500 in labor and who knows how many sales via Amazon Prime.
Since then I've been very cautious of listing my books anywhere except on Amazon, and about responding to hundreds of requests for a non-Amazon non-Kindle format.
I do have a book on Nook, and another on Google Play, but both do about as well there as on Amazon without Prime, and are only netting me about $.30/sale so it's not a big deal to me.
So bottom line, I'd love to accomodate your special need, but to do that I'll have to recommend you get a totally, completely, absolutely no strings attached FREE APP from Amazon that allows you to read Kindle on just about anything. I use the Chrome Browser Extension all the time on my Win8 Laptop and it's great. No complaints. ARTICLE EXPLAINS IT HERE
Note: If you pay someone to format a 200 page book for Nook you'll pay a few hundred dollars, if you'd rather use $300 instead of $500, but that only marginally affects the percentage of loss.
