B&N don't make it easy to like them. Over here in the UK, with the recent price slashing I treated myself to a Glowlight (wanted a light 'cos I'm waiting for cataract ops) for reading and a Simple Touch for hacking. They are both great. When the HD+ was reduced I got one so I could read magazines as PDFs in colour. And very good it is too. So then I do my usual trick and try to buy a few spare cables. The 30pin USB plug that the HD+ and HD use is hard to find in the UK. It has turned up on the B&N site as an import which from the photos seems to mean it has a US USB adaptor and the cable for £15 which is a lot when all I want is the cable. I emailed support and got no reply. The HD+ is good to use but the lack of support and shortage of basic cables is worrying. This morning I get a mailshot from nook which says "All Accessories up to 40% Off!" over a picture of HD+ cases and accessories. On investigation is is obvious that "up to 40% Off" also includes 0% off as far as the 30pin cable etc goes.
I've stopped recommending Nook kit to friends. Apart from the Glowlight.
