Also, Amazon can afford to keep its Kindle Fire locked in some respects since it has a richer app store. B&N doesn't have that luxury.

I know that, had one and sold it. I was referring to the SD card slot.
Kindle Fire doesn't allow Google market access, unless you root it.
Yes, you can install some Google apps with few tricks but the UI is locked into Amazon's store.
Regarding your comment about Amazon store, that's exactly what I'm saying and mentioned in my other two posts, that B&N problems are more related to content than hardware quality or open UI. At least, in my opinion.
