Opening up the HD+ to Google Play is one of the best things B&N have done with this tablet. This tablet is rootable, which is one of the reasons I bought it, but I have not tried this yet. I installed some third party file managers from Google Play. If there is a file manager, I have not found it, which strikes me as curious. The absence of the Android "back" and "menu" keys is extremely annoying. It takes a while to learn your way around this tablet. I do not find the B&N interface to be very intuitive. I actually have come to appreciate the larger plug, which is easier to grab and seems to snap into the connector better than micro usb connectors generally do. B&N use a proprietary connector for charging and data, which I thought would be more annoying than it has been. The screen accumulates fingerprints to an astonishing degree, but it is not generally noticeable when you are using the tablet at normal viewing angles. You can't get that kind of storage space in any other new, branded tablet for under $200. The micro SD card slot can accommodate up to 64 GB of additional storage. This tablet is designed for portability - you don't have to coddle it.The standard SSD hard drive (indeed, the only one available) is 32 GB.
I use the famous B&N hole in the lower left corner to attach a lanyard, as a further failsafe against dropping the thing. The bezel around the edges is just wide enoough to grab the tablet comfortably without touching the screen. It is small enough to be reasonably portable, however.
It is big enough and clear enough to read books without enlarging the page beyond the margins of the tablet, which makes it particularly useful for reading. The screen features an impressive 9 inches of 1920 x 1280 resolution.
But it is probably the best tablet you can buy for less than $200, and it is probably the best overall tablet value on the market, at the moment. It doesn't have the best screen or the easiest-to-use interface. The Nook HD+ isn't the fastest tablet available.
