I absolutely love my Nook HD+.  I bought two for myself because it was such a great deal.  I purchased them through the Barnes & Noble website for $170 and never regretted my choice.  My husband now has one, as does my my sister.  I use it mainly for browsing the web, but also for reading books I have purchased or borrowed on Overdrive.  My two kids (3 & 5) got the 7-inch Nook HD and it comes in handy for our rare restaurant visits, to keep them quiet and occupied.  The micro-sd storage option is wonderful.  It would be great if other tablets offered that, but I guess they want you to use their cloud for backup.  This is simply a great deal for the money.
