What is the average life of the Nook HD?

We have had ours for over three years so far and no serious battery issues like the original nook. We went through 5 in two years

I have three different nooks my oldest is over 5 years old. They always work for me so far. Once my color tablet shut down last summer and seemed hot. But the next day it was fine. Never knew what that was about and it never did that again.

It's good for both indoor and outdoor use. It's not as as good as the little Nook Simple touch for outdoor reading because that is strickly with no backlighting. I take my simple touch to the pool and park all the time. But for the HD+ it does work outdoors fine but I find it's less easy to manage and tote around if you're going to ball games or other places. But I still bring it because I can use my kindle app to read books from amazon as well as my ones from Barnes and noble.

The Nook HD+ power supply appears to be rated at 5V, 0.85A. I can't find the official Nook specs, but several websites reference .85A. Assuming .85A is correct, this adapter will work.

True, Google Play allows the Nook HD+ to partial act as an Android. I like having it become a complete Android tablet at times, hence I bought the AFN micro SDHC. It only matters if you want to go beyond what the Nook can do. I often return to the Nook after taking out the AFN micro SDHC. It works fine either way. Versatility is the name of the game.

It's between 5-10 hours depends on what you use it for. I read work stuff and watch movies/shows and it lasts about 10 hours for continuous use.

Yes. If you see HD+ in the model name that refers to the 9" Nook. If you see just HD (without the "plus" sign) it's the 7" Nook. Why they chose a "+" sign instead of just using the number 9 is beyond me.

I have not yet obtained the Nook Color yet. I plan to get one soon. I will reply thereafter.

11 hours for reading & you can buy an extra battery for it. I have the 32 gig HD+

Nook HD is definitely better than the nook color, the processing speed and download speeds are more responsive and images of course are better due to the nature of a HD screen. If you want to upgrade there's always the nook HD+ which i fond is far better and it has SD memory slots for additional storage capacity.

I would still buy the Nook HD+, the screen is better, the operating system isn't as locked down (IE I can install regular android on it and use it as a normal tablet, it had a microsd slot and even the native ebook software is superior. I use mine with the free Calibre on the computer (which can convert any ebook file to any other ebook file and am able to read books from anywhere. If you aren't just using it as an ebook and are unwilling to learn to put a normal operating system on it I would probably look at another tablet as an option. I will say this has far better specs ( screen /processor/memory) at a lower price than any almost comparable tablets!

Yep! I'm on my Nook every day. Seems well protected and sturdy. Nook held securely in case.

I have the simplest Nook (no light and no internet, etc.) and it fits perfectly. Love it! Have had it over a year and it shows no wear.

This is for the 9" Nook HD+. The HD+ is only 9" and the HD is only 7", per Barnes & Noble.

I received a 4th Generation for Christmas and have no trouble with batterylife. I often listen to audiobooks as well as listening at work. I don't have a charging station at work and can usually go at least 2 full working days (8 hour days) without charging.

We have a 7' in Nook and it fits perfectly. My 3 year old son has this on his nook and it takes some significant abuse from him and I've never had a problem with the tablet and he's had it almost an entire year. I highly recommend. We do not have the HD version though, just the regular!

I Just looked and it seems that the nook also uses a micro USB cable so it should work also the seller told me they have a lifetime warranty on these so if they stop working like mine did they will send replacements at no cost so this is an even better deal than I originally thought
