Can you read an e-book purchased from Amazon on a Barnes and Noble Nook e-reader?
Answers:
No you cannot. But I'll suggest you to choose the Kindle because internet access is so important. This is a review from a top reviewer and a book lover, see how she says:

No. You cannot read Amazon ebooks on the Nook. It cannot work on the other way too...
I own the Kindle 2, so let me give some of my opinion if you are choosing an e-reader. If you ask me to choose again now, I'll still go for the Kindle instead of the Nook, because I think the network browsing function is rather important. The free internet (and now it is free international internet) plus the pattern browser allow me to look for information whenever I'm in need. It is really a cool feature that cannot be missed. And right presently it is free for both the U.S. and many other countries, it is just incredible when you bring it to trip.
I remember I read this review when I decided to gain my Kindle:

I'm sorry but no. Here are the only devices that can read ebooks from Amazon (however, the latest news is that at hand will be a software for PC and Mac that can read Amazon ebooks):

If you can deciding between the Barnes and Noble Nook and the Amazon Kindle, I've looked into it so let me give my opinion.
From the official page of B&N, here is how the Nook compares with the Kindle:

Since Barnes and Noble page is only mentioning the pre-eminence of the Nook over the Kindle, let me try to tell more about the benefit of the Kindle 2 over the Nook:
- There is no internet browser for the Nook. So even beside Wi-Fi, you can only use it to purchase book. You cannot do searching in Google, Wikipedia, check email, etc., similar to what you can do with the Kindle.
- The Amazon Kindle has international free 3G wireless which covers over 100 countries. So even if you're in places similar to the UK or Australia, you can access the internet with the Kindle free of charge. The Nook has wireless only in the U.S., and is limited for use of buying books only
- The Kindle is available outside the U.S. (it ships to 176 countries), while the Nook only ship inside the U.S. at this moment.
- The Kindle has text-to-speech function, so it can treat an ebook like audio book. This function is not present on the Nook.
- Amazon is already doing some renovation after the Nook is announced (still more than one month for it to be available). They dropped the price of their International Kindle even further. And they are going to release a PC software which can read their Kindle books.
One more thing to be aware is that, at first glance you may think the Nook can read ebooks next to color touch screen. But indeed the color touch screen is only a small eyeshade beneath the greyscale eink screen, and seems it is only used to browse the cover of ebooks.
In my feelings, it is a tie between the Kindle and the Barnes and Noble. But if you may travel and you enjoy reading during your trip, you should go for the Kindle for sure. Moreover, I trust the Kindle will come up with some strategies vastly soon, like improving their lending book function. The Kindle is the biggest player contained by the ereader market right now, and I believe it will put enormous energy to hold its position.
I recommend this article as well, it is the best review on ebook readers I've ever read:
