I also bought one of the HD+ and promptly installed CM10. It was very easy and I backed up the original HD+ software so if I want to go back to stock I can. I even changed the device name so I could easily download the Nook app from Google Play.

I use this mainly for game play (playing old SNES games on an emulator with a bluetooth controller) and watching videos (I stream them from my Win7 PC and also from my Win8 home server.)

Fortunately I've already downloaded my transferred Fictionwise purchases as the online library has lately been not been very cooperative.

It's not surprising that B&N is in trouble, too bad since they are one of the last of the B&M bookstore chains left in the US.
