Is that because Amazon only released it to the Android Market & Amazon AppStore, and the Nook Color can't officially access either?

Is the Sony Reader app in the Nook App Store?
Are the Nook App and Sony Reader app in the Amazon App Store?
I know Kobo's App is there-they seem to be quite open about getting everywhere.
Correct, the Kindle App has never been submitted to any third party store, excluding the Amazon app store. As far as I know, it is the same on the nook app. I've not looked for the Sony Reader app though, but I wager it is the same. nook Color only can install apps from B&N, since the devices have to be licensed by the manufacturer to use the Android market. If B&N put the android market on there without paying Google, they'd get sued. Individuals can root the device, giving them full control over it, and then manually install the Google apps. Just like I said, B&N can't, unless they pay.
