They will have to give the Nook Tablet away. I bought one last November and then B & N locked up the operating system so you can not get apps or content from anyone other than B & N at inflated prices.
I just purchased a Google Nexus 7 tablet and it is great. Faster than the Nook and complete access to the Play Store and thousands of free apps. Google now has my goodwill and I even purchased an e book for my wife which I refused to buy from B & N at same price.
I am trying to find a use for my Nook tablet now other a paperweight. No reason for B & N to exist with Amazon and Google as competitors.
