First, I read some links at XDA Developers that stated that you needed to format the SD card by ONLY using SD Formatter 3.1 to avoid problems. It was stated that even formating the SD card internally on the Nook Tablet can cause problems with downloads and the same with using the on board/PC windows formatter. The I followed the instructions with the attached link to the letter

Now I have the kindle store for android, the Amazon whole app library and I've downloaded free apps too numerous to mention. I've tailored my Nook exactly with the functions I needed. I really don't care if the system is bootblocked as so many others do. It doesn't affect me or what I want to do with the unit. I have no desire to root the tablet or add firmware to it. I just wanted to tear down the B&N walls preventing me from experiencing the rest of the Android world with the device. This method gives me 90% of that world. The other 10% admittedly requires rooting or firmware and that I can do with out.
With the smooth UI of the Nook Tablet and access to literally thousands of apps and the entire kindle e-book library, many for free, The Nook Tablet becomes a 7" dream machine. At least for me, it does. I can see with one of the apps I installed that shows the amount of RAM available, even when you're running just the home page that many apps run in the background and use up memory. I do believe that this is the reason the Fire runs slow and jerky with a lot of stuttering(512). The apps running in the background use up a lot of ram. The Nook Tablet has 1 gig which leaves plenty of ram for the UI and keeps the speed and smooth quality of the unit up.
Edit to Add: I forgot to add that you must add an SD card for the system to work as the internal storage is not compatable with Amazon apps store. Seems B&N and Amazon don't particularly like each other. Go Figure. They load fine on an SD card as long as it's formatted in SD Formatter 3.1. The EZ Go Launcher puts a nice overlay on your wallpaper and shows all apps you have installed, be it B&N or 3rd party. You don't even need a soft button. If you use the method I've linked, I highly recommend installing the EZ GO Launcher Pro and the ZDBOX that the tutorial recommends.
