What I am asking here is how well the devices work with calibre if you don't do any of that. so, I assume you mean Nook HD+, how friendly to calibre is it if you don't do that extra stuff ? its advertised as working as a reader but do you have to actually source and add an epub viewer ?
First. Stock Nook HD/HD+ work just fine with calibre, as long as you don't want to access an onboard SD card. At least under Linux.

Second. If all you want to do is read and easy calibre access, I think it makes more sense to get a dedicated ereader (e-ink). All of these tablets are *more* that an ereader and none are particularly friendly with USB connections.

IMHO...
