I don't think you understood what I wrote.

If Nook is very unlike Android, and I like Nook, does that mean I won't like Android? Perhaps I should take the Nook back and go with a dumb phone come Feb?

Some are really good, others not so much. Even the Android version of Nook is much better than the NC stock reader app! All that I listed are better than the stock NC reader except perhaps the Sony app (which really sucks). By having a few reader apps to choose from, you greatly increase the number of eBook formats which you can read.
No thanks. I like the eReader derived reader on the Nook. FBreader is an OK reader, and I've used on various platforms. I own a Kindle 3 so a Kindle reader for the Nook would be counterproductive. If I need format flexibility, I use the jetBook, which still has everyone else beaten.
