weighs in at 515 grams compared to the Nook HD's 315 grams, and price wise the Nook HD+ begins at 229 for the 16GB model going up to 269 for 32GB of storage. Both models feature Wi-Fi connectivity and are based on Android but use the company's latest customized version of the open-source OS, which replaces the standard interface with a more multimedia friendly version. There is integrated access to Barnes & Noble's online Nook Store where you will find access to books, magazines, and newspapers with the company set to provide a Nook Video Store from next month for access to TV shows and movies. The device will go up against the likes of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD that is also priced at 159 for the 16GB model, but the UK currently only has access to the 7-Inch version of the Fire HD with no release news of the 8.9-inch version yet. UK consumers also have the choice of the Google Nexus 7 that starts at 159 for the 16GB model going up to 199 for 32GB, and this is arguably the preferable choice for consumers looking for a 7-inch tablet to read books while being able to do other tasks.
