It's not in Amazon's interest to allow BN/Nook ebooks or apps (or any other ebook app for that matter) from running on a Kindle. The Kindle is basically just an e-ink tablet that is highly optimized for one app: Kindle. It does it really, really well. When I used my Kindle paperwhite, I would guess that 80-90% of my books were sideloaded from other sources.

The Nook formatted books can be converted to Kindle format with available software using a Windows PC. No need to side load. I made the transition from Nook to Kindle.
