It has some issues with closing programs. Not sure if that is an android issue or a Nook issue, since I installed an N2A card to have it working more like an android. I have had no issues downloading apps, either before or after N2A. I was getting screen flickers while using it and discovered, through research, that Nook tends to do that when plugged in. So now I unplug it when using it. The screen is awesome. Everything is so bright and clear. It is a little heavy to hold in one hand while lying down, but it is manageable. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

It does what I need it to do. The screen's quality is good. Memory can be expanded with microSD card, which is a plus. B&N latest software version is Android 4.0.4, which isn't that great. And, I don't think B&N will update the software anymore.

The best tablet from B&N (this is my second one). All reasonable features you expect -- good display size, long battery life, plenty of Android apps. Add to this the frugal price and this is a deal that seemingly can not get better. But it can, if you buy it refurbished like me -- you will get (an almost) new tablet for the less than 1/3 of iPad or the likes. However it is not perfect. It is not pure Android, instead B&N has tweaked it quite a bit. It is well done but one negative side is that for updates this table depends entirely on B&N. My old tablet runs Gingerbread and will never receive official update. I did that with N2A card but that is different story. Another concern is the RAM memory. It may have been sufficient when the tablet has been released, but recently (in 2013) B&N decided to allow Google Play on it. Which is great because it makes huge collection of apps available on this Nook. But the price for that is that now there are a bunch of extra background processes, to support Google Play and other Google services, running on the tablet all the time, and they take up memory. So that leaves less memory to run the primary apps like browser, email reader, book reader, etc. The effect is that this latest generation table is rather ... let's just say slow when apps are started. Much slower than my older Nook tablet. On the good side, after the startup the app performance is fine. Overall -- great tablet. For reading, watching movies and casual Internet browsing, this is the best value for your money.Read full review

I anticipated battery problems but found that the battery is quite adequate for my use. The WIFI radio seems to be a bit weaker than my other devices but that is about the only complaint I can find. I really like the tab/hole. I've attached an old camera strap. Works well with Google Drive as far as connecting with files or you can just copy them using the USB cable.
