Both of these devices are basically somewhat locked up Android tablets. With a little effort, it is possible to put the Barnes & Noble reader on the Kindle Fire. With even less effort it's possible to put the Kindle app on the Nook Tablet.

OK. So now I am even less likely to go to my local B & N. Nye Bevan Feb 2012 #7

Great. Now B&N will go away. That's our last first-run book store in the area. HopeHoops Feb 2012 #9
