Do not leave home without your favorite books and magazines--take them with you with the Barnes and Noble NOOK HD. This 8 GB e-reader tablet can easily store dozens of books on its hard drive, and even more using the NOOK Cloud Storage feature. The 7-inch VividView full-color touchscreen brings the pages of magazines or comic books to life. Multi-tasking is easy with this device because it is powered by a 1 GHz TI OMAP4 dual-core processor with 512 MB of RAM. Because it is Wi-Fi capable, it does much more than a basic e-reader. It allows users to surf the Internet and check their email on the go, as well as access many popular apps and games.
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 believe my nook got skipped over for testing. It turned on when it arrived and within minutes it signalled that the battery was low. I used a barnes and noble 30 pin nook charger but got no confirmation lightning bolt that it was charging in fact it was DISCHARGING the battery charge numbers were decreasing. I enjoyed the product very much for about 15 minutes. I was able to quickly set up an account with barnes and noble and download a free ebook. Wish the device lasted long enough to read the book..
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.
