FWIG, the Kindle Fires are more open to sideloading Android apps than the Nook tablets. With the Kindle Fire, you merely have to enable an option in settings. But with the Nook tablet, you have to jump through hoops to get the apps to work, and it's too much for the
average consumer to go through.
Also, Amazon can afford to keep its Kindle Fire locked in some respects since it has a richer app store. B&N doesn't have that luxury.
