And if B&N opens it up then I could download the Kindle app to read books from Amazon and unencrypted mobi files. And epub reading apps like Aldiko and FBReader which handle side-loaded epubs better than the nook. For me, that would be the main advantage of having a high end, fully functional Android tablet for a reader. The ease of adding content from different retailers. Though, I'm not sure B&N would agree with me.
