Everyone's been considering Android a plus for the purpose of hackability, but there's another reason. Assuming B&N chooses to be responsive to customer pressure for things like adding a browser, they can do it in minimal time. I can easily see them adding the non-GPS-enabled version of Google Maps as a way of locating the nearest B&N store. I can see them adding "What I'm Reading Now" Facebook updates.
That can all be done quickly, leveraging existing, well-tested code.
