Yes, as others have said, it is possible to root the NG3 and install Android apps. That said, the NGP and NG3 were not designed with third party apps in mind. The hardware isn't bad, but is limited. I have run Instapaper and a couple of reader apps with no problem, but the Kindle app is definitely a no-go. Some apps will work fine; others will not. That's mainly due to hardware limitations.

If you get either Nook, I recommend you get a launcher that will go as light on the hardware as possible. I use Zeam Launcher, which is quite lightweight yet does what I need it to do. It's no longer on Play Store, but it's not hard to find online. I tried ReLaunchX. It works fine, but I went back to Zeam. I like its simple and clean interface.
