In order to fully erase my tab from previous contents, I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition,dalvik cache and then went to mount and storage and formatted /system,/cache,/sdcard,/data,/data and /data/media options. Now while I am trying to install the rom from sd card, it shows

"Couldn't open directory
No files found" for all of my 3 sd cards.

Now I'm kinda stuck in CWM. If I go to advanced and either select reboot recovery or reboot to bootloader option, will my Nook HD+ brick? Is there any other options for me?

It should not brick. But it will also not boot because you wiped /system. You need to put a plain SD in the slot with your ROM zip on it and power off, then boot holding the power and n key together for a few seconds, releasing the power key first followed by releasing the n key. It then should boot to CWM where you can flash the ROM zip again. Don't be so quick to format so many things you know nothing about next time.

Thanks for the help leapinlar. I did what you said and now it's stuck at "cynaboot universal bootloader" page for about the last five minutes.

Thank you leapinlar. I searched the forum for boot loader loop and found your 4gb CWM bootable sd card image and it helped me get past the bootloader loop. Now reinstalled CM 11 snapshot 12 and learnt to live with battery issue. :) Thanks again for the help.
