Guide to the best solution

I don't own a tablet ...

I do own a Nook Classic. I have not made the switch to the touch Nook because I hate the library shelving system.

90% of the books I read are library books.

I want to pick a book, and THEN choose the shelf or shelves it belongs on ... not pick a shelf and go through 200 books to find the one I want to add. I would also like to know which books are NOT on shelves so I can place them appropriately. Simple touch doesn't do this. The guy at the B&N store said Nook HD does.

One of my favorite magazines just announced they are going all digital and my husband said "so, buy a tablet".

OK, I looked at the Android Nook app he uses and the library system is non-existent.

If I buy a Nook HD, how "Android" is it? ... like, could I put the Kindle app on it and read Kindle books, to? Are all the Android apps available on the Nook HD?

The magazine I want has a Kindle edition, an iPad edition and an Android edition through an app called Zinio, but I have to have Android 4.0 or higher ...

I'm not really going to buy a tablet just to read a particular magazine, but it got me to thinking ....

Nook HD or regular run-of-the mill Android tablet?
