Most people who will buy the Nook Tablet are not looking for that broad open experience you want. What you want is a $500 tablet for $200 and no $200 tablet will every wholly measure up.
OTOH, I would expect to be walled in to B&N if I am buying a Nook device, just as I would expect to be walled in by Amazon were I buying an Amazon device. I whould choose to buy the Nook Tablet because I want to buy my reading material at B&N and am happy to have B&N guide my access to Netflix. If I want to be wall-free, I wouldn't buy either the Kindle or the Nook, I'd look at the Xoom or Asus.
Anyway, while the Nook Tablet fails to meet your openness needs at $250, it more than meets the average B&N consumer's needs, thus the need for two review conclusions.
