Yes, NOOK is limited to B&N approved apps and stuff, and is not a standard 
Android tablet unless you jailbreak it and install Cyanogenmod Android or 
similar. Then you can have the NOOK and Kindle readers and buy books as you like.

Related hint: Linux manuals don't work well on phones, and only on tablets if 
some effort was put into getting the table of contents at the front where you 
can link to chapters. Some do, some don't.
