But you left this in: “The Nook HD+’s larger display may not be the best in its class (not when there’s a Retina-equipped iPad out there)” implying that there is some meaningful difference when there is not. You also complain about audio issues that I simply don’t get. I used a Nook HD+ to watch the Hobbit trailer in a Target store with it attached to the display kiosk and people shopping all around me and I could still hear it. Sure it wasn’t loud but I sincerely question why this is such an important feature. It’s not like a tablet is a multi-person viewing device so why would you want to use speakers for audio, especially for something like watching a movie? If you were about to watch a movie I would think you would either A) use headphones if you are around other people or B) be somewhere quiet on your own. You act like speakers in a tablet are a feature of primary importance when I don’t think that is the case for most people
