The Nook HD+ is now being sold with a free Simple Touch eReader in the US. Buyers who purchase the Barnes & Noble device between March 24 and the 31st will be able to avail of the offer. The accompanying device usually comes with a price of $79 attached to it.
The device comes with an assortment of utilities to cater to a wide audience. Movie buffs can treat themselves to an array of films as well as TV shows that are displayed in the Video tool, and a range of best selling utilities for tablets are listed in the Apps catalog. In terms of security, consumers can create multiple profiles, adding a personal element and safeguarding privacy. The slate in question allows avid readers to sync the last page perused across multiple applications and devices in the series.
A quick look at the specifications wouldn’t hurt prospective buyers. The most important and prominent feature of the tablet would, of course, have to be its display. It spans across a whole 9 inches on the front panel and spews out content in full HD. A 1.5GHz dual core OMAP 4470 processor keeps the pace going from within the tablet.
The company claims that the battery should make the device last for as long as 10 hours of reading time. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Surprisingly, even with dimensions of 240.3mm x 162.8mm x 11.4mm the slate is as light as 515 grams.
Prospective buyers might want to keep in mind that the available memory in the 16GB version is actually 13GB, with the remaining amount being used up by the Android software. Similarly, out of 32GB offered in the second option, around 28GB of space will be allotted to consumers for storing their data. The manufacturer has been kind enough to include a microSD slot that allows further expansion.
The Barnes & Noble Nook HD+ can be bought from the official website as well as the company’s retail stores at a rate of $269 for the base variant and $299 for the one with larger memory. For those who prefer other vendors, Walmart, Target and Best Buy will also be offering the deal, albeit only till March 30.
