NOOK Tablet 16GB BNTV250

Great device for reading but limited apps. Because there are numerous free FB2 type books easily available on Internet which are easily converted to EPUB format (used by Nook) I find a lot of free content without going to B&N. This is especially true to foreign language books (in our case in Russian). Fast internet connection and awesome graphics.

I just love this nook. I had a pandigital and when the off/on switch broke I got my nook. Only draw back is that the manual is not included<br />very hard to read it onthe nook while learning how to operate it

First of all, my family like to read British crime novels. Wondering why we couldn't buy some of them on Nook, we checked out Amazon dot com. There they were. Amazon had them for sale, so for Barnes &amp; Noble to think they are true competitors of Amazon is farcical. Their machines are similarly priced, yet the choice is not there on B&amp;N.<br />Secondly, the operating system on the Nook is a joke. Apparently, the Android used is different from the one used in phones. It is a horrible system. Slow. And it keeps freezing. More often than not, hitting the bar to open up a website produces no result. Nothing. It does not want to know. I got so fed up trying to get on the net with this infernal machine, I just gave up. I don't even bother trying to go on to the net with it now. And the plug on the end of the wire that goes into the machine was so badly designed, it started coming loose. In the B&amp;N store, I was told to call 1-800-books for a new one. No questions asked (apart from the serial number) and they sent out a new one. Why didn't they just send a new one out to the customers who are members and who have their details with B&amp;N?<br />In my opinion, if you are looking for a small, cheap tablet, buy the new Kindle Fire HD. It costs $50 less than I paid for the 16gb Nook. Of course the price is down now. That feels like a rip-off, but the Nooks are a waste of money, imo. I would never buy another one.

I bought it on a whim, my sons pandigital kept breaking, but i had insurance, so the last time it broke, my son said you keep it, i fully intended to get another pandigital, love the front and back cameras and the multitude of free apps, and although the nook doesnt have cameras, or many of my fave free apps, i have all of barnes and nobles free books and 16 gb of space, plus a memory card, movies and etc, i have my phone for pics, but if they came out with a new one, it should have a camera!

The two most important things to me when it comes to an e-reader is book selection and battery life. The Nook Tablet integrates nicely with the B&amp;N web shopping experience, making it very easy to search, preview and purchase e-books directly from the Nook. I was able to find a Nook version for most of the books I searched for. Also, wirelessly syncing purchases you made from a computer is virtually automatic. However, when it comes to battery life, it�s horrendous. In standby/suspended mode � with Wi-Fi off, no apps running, no email setup, power save on, and no micro SD card installed � my Nook was discharging power at a rate of 1.7% per hour one day after being taken off charge. I could NEVER get more than 4 days on standby; less if I actually used the reader one time for 30 minutes without Wi-Fi. I tried some solutions I found online, like updating the firmware and doing a hard reset, but nothing worked. After two separate discussions with B&amp;N tech support (an outsourced group whose only guidance apparently is to avoid warranty repairs at all cost), I was finally told that 1.7% per hour in standby was �within the normal parameters� of the Nook. Really?! That makes this claim in the user manual a complete and utter lie: �With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned off, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks.� Even after two trouble reports for the same issue, B&amp;N tech support would not acknowledge a problem with the battery or replace the battery or Nook under warranty.<br />I was even more disappointed with the Nook as a tablet. It has very few decent apps available, especially if you want more than just games, and none of the free apps you find on other devices (like CNN, Weather Channel, ESPN, etc). The web experience is clunky, pinching gestures are hit-and-miss, and the touch screen is so poorly calibrated that you have to enlarge web sites about 250% in order to touch the correct link you want. (The third-party Puffin web browser app is better than Nook�s native browser, but it�s still a far cry from surfing the web on an iPad.)<br />I got my Nook Tablet as a gift and, after my last disappointing interaction with B&amp;N tech support, I ended up trading it in at Best Buy for $94 eight months later.

Travel a lot, so need reading material. My Sony PRS 600 Touch was getting a bit long in the tooth, so needed a new reader. Prefer laptops for serious work and already had Samsung Tab.

I bought two of these for Christmas last year (one for me and one other family member). I'm about to buy a third for my daughter who is heading off to college. She is also getting a new MacBook but the Nook Tablet is perfect to carry around for reading books and watching movies between classes. Love the color, the ease of surfing the net and watching movies (I have the 007 series on mine using a 32MB memory card#. I also use mine as an ereader #go figure).

I got this for Christmas this past year. I have played with this and read on it for the entire 6 months i have had this (at least once a day). I had it on yesterday around 3:00pm, i put it in my bag (always) and I also have a OtterBox for it, so it is protected from screen to back. I keep it in my computer/file bag along with other papers. It didn't get wet, it wasn't hot, nor humid. NOW, I go home at 5:30 in the evening, and try to turn it on, and now it doesn't start, completely black/blank. Okay, maybe the battery went dead....charged it all night, tried it this morning, nope...won't start up. I am glad to see the writer below had this problem so now i guess i have to wait for the battery to die, and hopefully it will restart...I am very upset, that i spent all that money on apps and books, and now i won't be able to read/play them.

First, let me start by saying that overall I believe the Tablet is pretty good. I actually like the device and the OS it uses and the apps that it runs. But, there are two glaring issues that force me to not recommend it.

I bought my Nook tablet after doing some online research on various brands and for the money, it had the best rating given my inability to afford the better but more expensive Ipad. However, the constant little pop up windows that come up asking find on page; settings; download, etc. become so annoying it makes doing any task on the tablet frustrating at best. The only way to continue once it appears is to tap on one of the choices and then simply choose &quot;Go Back.&quot; Then there is the regular freezing of the web browser. It's now gotten to the point where each session requires me to turn off the tablet and power it back up to be able to continue. Yes, I know now that money shouldn't have been my main concern. This thing has become an expensive video game as it's not able to accomplish much else.

The Nook tablet is a great eReader. I have no complaints about that aspect of the product. It is by far one of the worst tablets though because of an absolutely horrendous web browser and wifi connection. It is incredibly ssssslllloooowwww when browsing the internet and I am constantly getting error messages. The wifi drops at least 10 times during a 30 minute internet browsing session and I know it is the nook and not my router or internet provider because my iPhone never, never, never drops connection. If you want a true tablet, get an iPad, the Nook is really bad as a tablet. Definitely a waste of money if you need to connect to the internet.

I got this Nook 3 mos ago, I love it. It's easy to use. I use it primarily for surfing the web and watching movies on Netflix and of course the ereader. My husband who is technology challenged loves it. It's funny he uses it more than i do!! He googles everything he's really impressed with himself being able to use &quot;The Nook&quot; as he calls it. It's pretty fast when downloading, i really like that its compact, keeps the right amount of books and marks the correct pages in the books, and did i mention it was budget friendly. I would definitely recommend this to buyers. The only downside is that i wish it had more free apps but, other than that i LOL, we have no complaints :0) I'm seriously thinking of getting another one for my husband!!

I'm writing this review even though I haven't really been able to use my Nook yet. I got as far as registering it and checking out everything that was already installed on it, but never even got to purchase any books or apps yet. After charging this only a couple of times within 1 month, the USB cable broke (without being &quot;mishandled&quot;) off inside the Nook. I had to use tweezers to remove the piece from my tablet and immediately ordered a replacement online from Best Buy, but when I received the charger, it wouldn't work! When I took the charger &amp; tablet to Best Buy to show them the problem, the girl at the counter concluded that the reason the charger didn't work is because the adaptor wasn't powerful enough so she returned the recently purchased charger/adaptor and credited my account for me. She even went as far as exchanging my Nook and the Zagg screen protector just in case it was damaged by the original faulty USB cable. The problem I have though is that she wouldn't give me the USB cable that came with the Nook because I no longer had the original one to exchange. When I explained that I had thrown it out because I already had a new one on order with Best Buy, she understood but informed me that it would be against their policy to give me the USB cord without one to return &amp; she wouldn't let me purchase it either. Now 2 months later, I still haven't been able to use my Nook because none of the various brand micro USB cables I have had the time to purchase(AND return) will work with it even while using the original adaptor. I know 2 more months seems like a long time to let go by but trust me...when you have 5 kids, a job, a household and Mom's taxi service/errands to run...2 months really passes quickly. My busy schedule is one of the reasons I always loved shopping at Best Buy, they usually make everything so easy for me but I feel like they let me down this time. Anyway I just found out from reading online reviews that the charging cord breaks alot &amp; that if you call 1-800-THE-BOOK Barnes &amp; noble will replace it free of charge. I sure wish Best Buy would've known that! I'm expecting my replacement by the end of this week so when I get around to charging and possibly even using it, I will definitely write a new review with a more knowledgeable opinion.

worked great for 6 weeks (long enough to get stuck with it) there 800 help line is also a joke telling me to go over and over same steps NOT working if you want to throw away 250.00 I'll give you my address because I sure would like my money back!!!!

I was started looking at tablet computers, and actually bought a 10 inch model first, but quickly found out it was just a way over priced smart phone. So I brought it back and looked at the Nook for half the price of the tablet.<br />I took the Nook home thinking I would like this model. It fits well in your hands, its light and fairly easy to use. Fast wifi and about 6 hours of battery time, (not the 9 advertised). However, you get a very limited amount of free content. To get a game like Angry Birds, which is free on your smart phone or on a tablet, you have to pay about $3.50 including tax. (Yes they charge you and tax you for what should be a free app). Even to download a simple calculator, which you think should be included on something like this you have to pay additional money for it. Then even getting a personal organizer program your looking at close to $10 for a decent program. Again, something that should be included in any tablet. So when you start to add up getting a few apps, then you�re plunking down some serious dough.<br />The internet on it is clumsy at best. And email on it is poor as it is not a full featured email. Using face book on it is a joke, as there is no face book app avaialble, you have to go thru the internet.<br />Then typing on the tiny screen keyboard is about the same experience as a smart phone. (Poor at best)!<br />If you want something for a just e-reader only stick to the less expensive models, you will be better off. If you want a tablet experience, this is not for you.<br />So I took this back to best buy during the 14 day exchange period and put the money towards a ultra light lap top, for about the same money I would have had to shell out for a top end tablet. And I can download a Barnes and Noble program for it and do all the e-reading I want on my ultra light lap top.
