- THIS feels like a TAB! not as large as i was thinking it to be, but just the apt size! this is actually good for me, because i was worried about the portability-factor, one of the reasons why i initially chose the Nexus 7 over this; but not repenting it, as by that way, i got to apply some very nice discount on this purchase later. *techenclave.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png
- very good finish & build-quality! exudes kind of premium-quality elegance!
- brilliant screen! very vibrant colours, and doesn't at all look shiny and 'whitish' type like on Nexus 7. has a warm tone to it, which i personally prefer.
- reading PDFs on it is an absolute charm! even the scanned ones don't bother much now. i don't read e-zines much (and no comics), but the 'comic-mode' is just superb!
- the touch is far more responsive than on Nexus 7, and the latter's touch-response is anyway very responsive. i write that because i was using a stylus on both the screens, and the Nexus 7 managed to miss out on a lot of touches, while the Nook, barely any (plus, the well-spaced keys on the good-looking stock keyboard also helps)!
- i liked the stock UI; a good & very welcome change from the 'bland' stock Android UI!
- felt almost equally heavy as the Nexus 7; or perhaps, slightly lighter. comfortable to hold.
- the recessed screen on the Nook HD+, where the screen-glass is well-fit under the borders of the device, which helps in glare-reduction or something like that, does seem to work.
- initially, the OS didn't seem snappy enough, unlike the Nexus 7. but later on, it felt just right. perhaps it may be due to initial start-up processes and updates and all such. however, there indeed is difference between both the tabs' processors. but what and how much does that translate to real-world usage is yet to be seen (and i don't play touch UI games).
