Excellent deal for 75 bucks, no shipping or tax and 1 year warranty. I sold mines for 130 a while back and moved onto something faster but this is still good for the early version of Android.

Thanks OP - I've been thinking about a new Nook for awhile and one of the reviews of this one said that you can read in total darkness - I've been looking at the NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight but the reviews weren't the best so decided to jump on this - price was very good!!

Got excited there for a moment when I thought the deal was for the tablet. Still a good price for the color.

They want sales tax(NY) for me :<

Haven't tired with this newer nook, but the original rooted with CM7 was my fav tablet for a while. and kids loved it. I only used for web browsing/pulse reader. dvd rips and simple games not reading.

This is a good 7" tablet, especially with CM JB. I've had mine since June 2011. The only thing I worry about is the battery, unless these come with new batteries which I doubt. Mine won't hold charge anymore, and I basically have to keep it plugged in all the time even while I am using it, which makes it not very portable. The battery is apparently quite diificult to swap out, not to mention that a replacement battery will cost $27 from Amazon. Just my 2 cents worth.

I have one of these. CM7 if you ask me is too flawed for use. I now run CM10 from microSD. It is slower than CM7 and is pretty marginal. I use mine by the bedside for mornings when I want to lay in bed and read Engadget, newspapers, get the weather, etc.

I'd personally say the equipment to me would be worth $50, but I'm not sure I'd ever see it make that type of price. It is a solid tablet that you can give to the kids (my 4 year old often has it) without too many worries about damage. The speaker you should know is in the back and weak. If it suits your needs at all as either a reader or a budget Android tablet modded with CM7/10, I don't see a lower price on the horizon.

loved my nook color, had a couple gave to family. but the above user is right this is very old technology and not sure how long the battery will last anymore. i would budget another $40-$50, wait for BF and see what happens for a newer, faster tablet.

The release version of CM7 was perfect, i can't think of any flaws on it. And why run CM10 from an sd card? it runs perfectly well on the internal memory (EMMC). even though it's in beta, it seems faster than CM7

Agreed- the speaker isn't amazing. It's the one thing I missed when I went from an ipad to the NC. (admitted android fanboy here- i didn't like the rigidity of iOS)

Got a refurbished one on the last eBay deal. You definitely get what you pay for on build quality. Mine had a loosely fitting back cover and volume down button that didn't work very well. I played with CM7 on it and sold it shortly after.
A friend got the same deal and the touch screen was broken in one corner out of the box.
Probably good as a beginner tablet for kids or something.

bought one for our 4 year old...he is constantly taking everyone elses (5 others in the house) to play with. He will love this for Christmas!
