Just because I wanted to try it out, I bought the downloadable N2A program for the Nook HD+ (just because I didn't want to bother with the other process myself - sheer laziness on my part) and put it on a 32GB microSDHC card.

The process was simple, but long. It took about two hours for the program to unpack and install itself on the SD card via my laptop card reader, due to the 32GB size.

My Nook now boots into CM10 when starts up. I installed a program called Quick Boot that allows me to switch over to the B&N version without removing the SD card. Quick Boot can't be used on the Nook side, so when you power off the device while on the Nook side, it will restart on the CM10 side.

What's interesting is that when I check the core speeds using CPU-Z, in the Nook side the cores show an individual speed of 396 MHz at resting state, while in the CM side the cores show an individual speed of 800 MHz at resting state.
