Both run versions of Android. The difference is that Fire's allow for sideloading of apps while a Nook Tablet doesn't. When the Nook Tab first came out there apps could be sideloaded, but B&N quickly issued an update to take that away.


EDIT: I take that back. IIRC there is a way to tell the Nook that you're a developer and to sideload stuff (without rooting), it's just more convoluted than the standard way of sideloading apps on an Android device.
