As if bringing the Nook HD and HD+ access to Google Play this week wasn’t already a sweet deal, Barnes & Noble is temporarily slashing the prices for its two reading-focused tablets. The reductions will last until the end of Mother’s Day, putting the 7-inch Nook HD 8GB at $149 and the 16GB at $179 (a $50 discount), with the 9-inch HD+ set at $179 for 16GB and $209 for 32GB ($90 off). Compared to other options like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 tablets, it may be enough to make up for the lack of cameras, and also the UI shortcomings. Check out our reviews of the HD and HD+ if you’re interest is piqued, and hit up the source link if you’d like to snag one. Full press release after the break.
