Right now, Barnes and Noble has a deal running on their Nook HD+ tablet for $149.

This is a 9" HD screen, 16GB storage (expandable with micro SD card), wifi, android app compatible.

Original/normal price was $269.

BARNES & NOBLE | NOOK HD+ Tablet - All New

This is a great deal for someone needing a tablet but not wanting to spend the full price for an ipad. The HD display is very crisp. You can go to the B&N store in LSL and check it out.

I bought the 7" version for $129 (had an original nook and looking to upgrade) and was very impressed. My sister got the 9" and loves it.

If you already have a nook/B&N account, all your book purchases transfer. It's a great indoor reader (a little too much glare for full sunlight for me) as well as operating as a web tablet. Through Google Play, you can download the Kindle app and read your kindle book purchases on it.

Anyway, just wanted to share what I thought was a great deal. There is some concern about B&N's future with Nook and why these are so discounted, but, to me, it's a very inexpensive, "works now" purchase.
