I got my "refurbished" Nook HD+ a few days ago and I'm thrilled with it. It came in pristine retail packaging, looks brand new and the screen is perfect. As far as I can tell, the battery and internals are all working fine as well. Some have reported their HD+ tablets overheating, but mine merely gets a little warm on the lower left side. I've got the latest stock on it now, rooted and with the mod to allow sideloading.
I believe this was "refurbished" by Barnes and Noble as opposed to a third-party. It was sold by 1Sale.com for $99 (with a rebate). 1Sale was a little slow to ship and also didn't send a proper tracking number. I had to email them for it. But otherwise, I'm very satisfied dealing with them. If anyone is interested in an HD+, don't hesitate to give 1Sale a try. They no longer offer the rebate, but their price is still very good. The refurbished tablets are also coming with 1-year warranties.
