Nook HD and Kindle HD are locked in to the respective stores so are a bit restricted compared to Nexus which has the pure android experience but lacks an sd card slot. My advice if you really want to try an android device is to get a nexus 7 8gb used of ebay you should be able to get it anywhere between $50-100 but its a google based device so would give you the full or real android experience.

Thanks, Dopedangel. You are confirming what I was suspecting as I was working on my requirements list. Unless someone has a suggestion for a really 'killer" cheap tablet. I will look for a Nexus on the internet. Unless I get a super fantastic price I am unlikely to get a Kindle as I don't want to be locked in to a single vendor. (I'm assuming you can't use other ebook readers or ePub books on their devices)
B&N and I parted ways philosophically when the first Nook was released, and I foolishly bought a book from them and tried to read it on my first Sony ebook reader. Haven't used them since for anything.
