Amazon did *not* do the same thing.
You have always been able to sideload apps on the Fire tablets, which you still can't do on Nooks. You can easily install competing reader and Appstore apps on Fires without hacking.
And, Amazon has been successful because they actually have viable music and video services within their ecosystem so they not only make money off books and apps, they make money off media content and ads.
(Plus physical goods.)
