The Nook and the Fire are 75% of the Android market in the US. The iPad doesn't have out of the box access to an ebookstore. The 7" Samsung tablet comes preinstalled with Samsung's music and video "hubs."
I don't see much difference between the tablets in this respect.

Both platforms are primarily storefronts looking to sell content and consumers buy them to do exactly that.

This may be true of the Fire, which appears to be sold at a low cost with the idea of making additional profit on sales. It is demonstrably not true of the iPad, where content exists to promote sales of the hardware, with iTunes itself making little money.
