Content from Nook/Fire

---

I was thinking of buying one of these for my nephew, he currently has a Nook tablet. I was trying to figure out if all the content he currently has on there would be easily re-downloadable to the Nexus 7 with the Nook app. I just wasn't sure if Amazon or B&N had any content that was only available on their devices and not available through their apps for other Android devices.

I could be wrong, and if I am hopefully someone here will correct me, but my basic understanding is that any apps & magazine subscriptions purchased through the B&N store are not available through the Nook App, but books & single issue magazines are.

With Amazon, all content should be available through the Kindle & Amazon Store apps, as long as they weren't Fire-only apps.

The other complication would be if older apps are incompatible with 4.1 Jellybean, of which I don't know.

just use calibre program to change all his books from the nook format to kindle fire format which is mobi. and install the kindle fire app on the nexus 7. Thats what im gonna do, but im just transfering my kindle books.

I figured they did something to try and limit as much as they could to their specific devices to discourage people from moving on to better/different devices. Thanks for the info.
