Unless you root your Nook, it has not been easy to access a web browser since firmware update 1.1.0 (November 7, 2011). It used to be easy prior to 1.1.0. There were some rumors earlier this year that NST would get a browser in a mid year firmware update but so far as I know, that never happened.

Note that 1.1.0 and future versions of the Nook have much improved fonts so if you were to downgrade your Nook to a version prior to 1.1.0, you would lose the better font rendering.

Barnes and Noble did not describe the firmware 1.1.0 changes in detail. So I did, here:

Nook Simple Touch Firmware Update 1.1.0

As another post described, there's a fairly cumbersome method possible to access the browser, but the browser is not well supported by the Nook team.
