I purchased this Nook HD to replace the one I bought when the Nook HD first became available. My first one died after several years of hard use. The Nook apps are limited and some of the apps in the Playstore are not compatible with the Nook HD but I am able to do most anything I wish to do with what is available. I do not use the Nook HD for gaming. This replacement works great for what I use an ereader for, read.....

I bought this for my mom for her birthday because it was the best bang for my buck I could find at the time. We bought the refurbished one and I was a little scared that it might not work properly. It did freeze up the first time we turned it on to set things up, but after a reset it turned on and has worked great ever since. Easy to use and good size to carry around in a purse. Perfect for someone who doesn't need the biggest baddest technology out there. Great value for what I paid!
Honestly, I ordered this just looking for a cheap eBook reader, I didn't even realize it was a tablet until I got it! I was delighted to find out that it has an app section, everything from Google Chrome to Gmail to a Calendar and more. And you can get more apps through the Google Play store. The main concern I had is that it wouldn't be able to read more popular formats (Kindle ebooks, for example). But if you search on Google, it's very easy to find free software that converts all the other eBook formats into .epub files, meaning you can read every eBook you want on it regardless of format if you don't want to buy books from Barnes & Noble. I love my Nook!

This tablet is great. I use it all the time. Great size, screen clarity is awsome, and holds a battery charge for a long time. I love this and would purchase again.

The HD tablet is great, with the ability to download aps and connect to email. I honestly haven't tried to watch any movies on it, since I'm not a subscriber to netfix, hulu, etc. The main drawback for me has been figuring out the book side of things. When you first sign onto the Nook, you'll create a user ID and password. If you already have an Adobe account, beware, since I think it is easiest to move forward if these line-up. Anyway, it took me hours of installing and removing Adobe Digital Editions and connecting, disconnecting, etc. between the Nook and my laptop in order for the laptop to recognize the Nook as a device in Adobe Digital Editions (program on my computer). I'm still having trouble figuring out how to take ebooks out of my library, since I have to first download the book to my computer and then transfer it to the Nook. And I'm getting error messages if I don't do this in a really particular (and not the most intuitive) order. That said, the online forums have been very helpful in helping me figure out this confusion. But I would say that new Nook HD owners might want to prepare their patience for the road ahead.Read full review
