Great move. The Nook HD+ in particular is some very nice hardware.
I'm already on a Nexus 7 at this point - but still...
B&N needed to do this, instead of trying to grab the whole closed marketplace scheme ala Apple or Amazon.
I've owned a Nook color (Which I put CM7 on about 6 months into ownership). We had two more with CM7 for a while before I upgraded my daughter to a Galaxy Tab 2. Overall they've been great hardware and very durable.
Being able to use the native Nook books that read to you AND the google store is a big win. Our last NC is due up for replacement - when my daughter turns 6 I'll likely get her a Nook HD for her birthday.
And the Nook interface is a lot better for kids to manage IMO over the stock Android interface.
