Recommendation: Buy a Nook HD or Nook HD+ at $129/$149
While B&N has recently shut down their tablet manufacturing operations, the Nook HD and Nook HD+ are still available for purchase. What makes the two tablets even more delectable are their new prices: $129 for the Nook HD and $149 for the Nook HD+.
The Nook HD+ is my favorite, with a resolution of 1920×1280 but even the HD has a nice 7″ 1440×900 resolution display.
When I took a look at the Nook HD+ around Christmas time it really required N2A or RootMyNook to get maximum utility out of the tablet (full Google Play app access). However, with the latest update B&N enabled native Google Play support right out of the box for the Nook HD & the NookHD+! (well it did require an automated update before Google Play showed up, but nothing beyond that…)
Overall these tablets are a pretty amazing deal for the price. While I might take a Nexus 7 over the Nook HD, mainly due to the better software/CPU aspects of the Nook 7… I find the Nook HD+ irresistible at the $149 price it has a much higher resolution display than the Nexus 7 and it also has more screen real estate for browsing etc.
So, it is sad that B&N gave up in their fight against Amazon (Kindle Fires), Google (Nexuses) and Apple (iPads) but it does not detract from their legacy of nice hardware at reasonable prices. My recommendation, buy one! 🙂
