Not quite; otherwise, they'd have apps from major competitors like Netflix and Nook.
Just like B&N doesn't want me reading Kindle books on their tablet, Amazon doesn't want me reading Nook books on their tablet.

But they are allowing apps from other competitors. If they were going to block competing apps, they'd block ALL.

No, but then again, B&N isn't trying to run a full app store for all devices.

My money says Amazon rejected them.

I doubt that, considering the nook app is only available through the official market. It isn't in SlideME, or any of the other third party markets. I don't think that B&N submitted it. If they were submitting to non "Android Marketplace" markets, it would be in other markets. There are a lot of tablets out there that do not have the official marketplace enabled (due to the manufacturer's being cheap bastards and not wanting to pay the license to allow for google apps, including market access), and B&N is missing out on all of them.
