my kindle fire gave out and im looking for a replacement, it wont charge anymore and its not under warranty. im looking for something around $150 and im thinking of going with the nook hd, and with how closed the os is i dont want another kindle. the only thing im looking for is a tablet that can play movies through netflix or hulu, has a decent web browser, can read epubs seeing as all of my books are epub, preferably works well with calibre, and im also thinking of reading comics so it would be nice if it has a comic reader.

Edit: also about the nook hd, ive looked up on sideloading books using calibre and a few people were having problems with it such as not finding books or books not showing covers. have they fixed it or is it still a problem?
