Barnes & Noble Nook HD

Pros: Easy to hold, nice feel, sharp screen and crisp texts, great movie resolution, email, calendar, light weight.

Cons: I keep hitting "Switch keyboard" instead of space bar, keyboard cover up what I'm trying to type, sometimes browser seems slow, can't use Nook study, need more graduate-level academic books, and no back arrow for email, browser, and calendar apps.

Summary: I love the Nook HD. I like that it's a simple, basic, not too much extra included tablet. Netflix looks really good, and books look fantastic. I like reading on it more than traditional books and I'm actually reading more now instead of watching TV or browsing the internet. I also just like holding it, because it feels nice in my hand. It's really attractive and I liked the way it looked and felt the moment I saw it. Also, I like that I don't have a lot of contents, market places, and ads constantly trying to tempt me to waste more hard-earned money. It's a tablet that makes me feel like a frugal human being. The only things I wish it had more of are productivity apps so I can use it for presentations and work-related stuff like that, and to display my to-do list on the screen itself instead of having to open an app to see it.
