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.
I could not agree with this post more!!! And may I add that I save movies to the sd card for watching when we travel between homes! GooglePlay is the best!!!
