I use the Nook HD tablet primarily to read pdf files, magazines and cookbooks. I also use apps to play audiobooks,both Audible and ones I've ripped. Finally, I take it with me when I need to take a family member to the ER so that I can stream music for the patient (all the hospitals have free wifi, although sometimes it is wonky) while I read my ereader. For day to day reading, I use an ereader, not only because it is easier on the eyes, but it takes less battery power. Average ER visit is 8 hours and the tablet dies at 5 or 6 if you are using the screen all the time (although I get much more if just streaming music).
I originally bought the tablet because I was caring for a relative who did not read and thus had poor lighting. The HD's happened to be on sale at the time for Father's Day last year, so I gave it a shot over either a PPW or a Nook Glow.
