Android Market trumps the Amazon Market
Netflix trumps Prime
Hulu and Amazon Instant rentals will be a wash
Amazon Mp3 will be a wash.
Google only allows access to the Android Market for devices that have mobilephone like specs like GPS and a camera. That is reason that all those cheap tablets do not come with the Android Market installed.
Both the NC and the Kindle Fire do not have the specs that are required for the Android Market.

I hope we will get apps like Netflix and Overdrive. But remember that B&N does not create the apps. Developers/companies have to submit their NC apps to B&N. If they do not develop a NC version, there is not much B&N can do.
