The next generation of NOOK media tablets - the HD/HD+ - sport a vastly different type of power cord (and wall adapter), and I haven't read many complaints about them. Nonetheless, BN charges a lower price for the NOOK HD/HD+ cord/adapter ensemble, and has continued the practice of mailing free replacements to anyone who calls or phones them to complain that theirs is faulty.
