But, like Apple, without rooting the device you can only buy apps through B&N's app store. And unlike Apple, B&N don't offer competing apps like the Kindle one.
So the issue doesn't arise, as you aren't allowed the option of having the competing content provider.
(And point 1 is also true of Apple, they have only ever said they want their 30% of in-app purchases. The argument has been around them forcing providers to offer the option of in-app purchasing alongside out-of-app purchasing.)
