Is it the Kindle or Nook app that provides the reading experience?

IOW, are the reading features that make the Kindle and Nook great readers (font selection and sizing, paging, bookmarks etc) provided by an app that can be installed on a different Android tablet, or is it something embedded in the tweaked OS?

Well, lots of people think that the e-ink is what makes the Kindle (& the non-color Nook) such a great reader (not back-lit). And the apps cannot reproduce that experience at all.

those features are present in the apps.... except e-ink.

So, since I'm looking at a color tablet (in this case it would be the Nook Tablet), it sounds like the reading functionality could be hosted on a different 7" Android?

BTW, I agree about the eInk. Great technology.
