Is the charge cable better on the nook HD? I have a nook tablet and I'm on my 5th cable. And can I just drag and drop books on to an SD card without a computer? And how is the battery life and overall speed of the device?

Nook HD >>> Kindle Fire HD.

The charge cables on the Nook HD and HD+ have 30 pin cables like (but not exactly the same as) the old iPod cables. They don't use the extended microUSB tip anymore -- haven't had any problems with mine. However, the new Nooks use Android 4.0 and Android changed how they handle remote file systems -- it now treats the Nook HD or its SD card as a media drive rather than a regular external drive so I can no longer manage the Nook library natively with Calibre. Battery life is excellent, speed is much better than the Nook Tablet.

I have a Nook hd 9", in fact i am writing this post from it. I like it alot. My kids got it for me for fathers day. It was on sale for $179 for the 32 G. It is expandable too. I don't know how fast the other tablets this size are but it is reasonably fast.

If you write much will want a bluetooth keyboard. I got an Ionic "i think" for about $40 and it included a leather type case. Accessories are NOT as available for this model. I wanted an otterbox, but they weren't making one for this size. You also have to be careful when you buy things for the hd+9 inch because most of the products are for the hd 7 inch and not everyone labels the products very well, but it worker out ok bcause my wife has the 7'. Kindle and Ipad have lot more accessories than the Nook 9.

The battery life for reading is about 7 hours with the screen turned all of the way up. Using wifi uses a lot of battery time, so probably about 4-5 hours.

I could easily read it at the beach in the sun, with an after market anti reflective cover.I bought a couple extra, so if you buy the nook 9' let me know and maybe I can get it to you. Some things it doesn't do well, maybe it is the free software, is write documents. It is sometimes a little tough to surf the web

It is easy to send emails and the like though.

For the sale price I dont't think you can do better.

My Nook recently went dim. Dim as in it is permanently at about half the brightness of the lowest setting. I can only use it at night, in a cave. I'm looking around for a SD card to load all the stuff I side loaded onto this, then I'll take it in or something. Other than that, we've loved it for web browsing, youtube, and netflix.

Unable to PnP to your laptop or PC? My KF-HD is PnP, so i can pull anything i loaded off it as well as add to.

I could do that. The computer I side loaded from is kind of dead though.

So, you're not really prepared r u

There is some deal with my desk top that won't read the Nook correctly. I forgot all about that until you reminded me...
