First and foremost, it should be noted that this article is more of an addendum to my initial review of the Nook HD+ that was posted back in November when the device first came out rather than a completely new review. I’m not going to cover any of the hardware details or any specific Nook […]

B&N Slashes Prices on Nook HD and Nook HD+ for Mother’s Day
Lately I’ve been getting tired of posting about all of Barnes and Noble’s various Nook sales and promotions every week, but this one is too good to pass up. Through Mother’s Day, May 12th, Barnes and Noble is selling the 7-inch Nook HD tablet for $149 and the 9-inch Nook HD+ tablet for $179 both […]
B&N Adds Support for Google Play to Nook HD and Nook HD+

The Nook Isn’t Dead Yet, But It’s Not Selling Well So It’s On Sale Again
Barnes and Noble released their third quarter financial results today and the numbers, as expected, were not good. Overall revenues decreased by 8.8% from last year, and even worse, Nook revenues from both digital content and Nook hardware fell by a gut-numbing 26%. Digital content sales actually rose by 6.8%, so that really shows just […]
