The two newest Nooks are the Nook HD (7") and the Nook HD+ (9"). You can surf the net with either AND both come with Google Play. At Google Play you can download Kindle for Android (free!). Thus you can purchase books from either BnN or Amazon.

Adding Google Play to the Nooks also gives you access to lots of apps, many of which are free. I have several word and "brain" games on it. After reading the thread here on TOTV, I added Candy Crush Saga to see what all the fuss was about. I select games to play against the computer so I don't have to be connected (handy when you're in a waiting room, travelling, etc.).

The Nook HD was $138.03 with tax.
