I never could understand why they went the 30 pin route for the cable. Nooks have always been USB. Granted the Nook Color and Nook Tablet had a different cable to fast charge it (the plug was a little long) but you COULD use a standard USB cable to slow charge it.

Although now that I think of it, the change could have been because the original nook color cable was problematic, not sure if it was a quality issue or design. But they seemed to have that fixed by the time the Nook Tablet came around. At least I never had (or heard) a problem with mine.
