Barnes & Noble OV/HB Universal Power Kit for Nook HD & HD+

I bought this so I could carry it with me and recharge my Nook when I am out and about. It works very well for that. The prongs of the charger fold down, so they don't tear holes in my bag or anything in the same pocket with it. The charging cable is plenty long enough to reach the outlet at my local coffee shop. It's an official product, so I don't have any worries about it overheating my Nook and causing a fire like knockoff brands can. And if anything happens to my everyday charger, I know I have a spare.

For an increasingly scarce charger for Barnes & Noble Nook HD/HD+, I was glad to have obtained this now before it became more difficult. While this is a universal power kit and not the official thing, it does the deed and that's what makes it count. It locks into the Nook so it won't slip out, but you'll have to be delicate when removing it so you don't damage this expensive product. I personally have it as a spare in case the one that came with my Nook HD finally bites the dust. Would definitely buy if you have a Nook HD/HD+

I lost my B&N original cable. I looked around for an new one. I tried a different, cheaper model but it didn't fit my device properly so back to the drawing board. I ordered this one. I am satisfied. It works exactly as expected and fits perfectly. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a spare or in lieu of the original usb cable adapter.

I was very curious if it's really genuine or just pretending to be because it seems like almost every cable and charger sold in Amazon is labeled as being from the manufacturer. Anyway, mine did not come in a B&N Nook box, it was in a tiny zip lock bag with a piece of ordinary paper obviously printed with a low-resolution inkjet printer that explains what Nook devices will work with it and what will not. First thing I did was to put it side-by-side with the original charger that came with my Nook 8.9 HD+. It was exactly the same size, shape, color and weight. The only difference was the printed details in the charger. The print was brighter and crisper in the original, but it was also decent in the new one I purchased. Also, the QR code in the original was missing in the new one. Finally, the hinge mechanism in the folding prongs was a little different, but the "feel" of folding and unfolding the prong was exactly the same. With the USB cable, there was virtually no difference whatsoever. So, I finally plugged it in and the tablet immediately recognized it and charged. I honestly do not see any other difference. If it came in an original Nook box, I would definitely proclaim it to be original. Maybe it was from a company that bought them in bulk (it definitely looked brand new) and resold it, or maybe it was from the same China factory who manufactured them for B&N and decided to sell units outside their agreement. Who knows?

Product exactly as advertised-came in a Nook box and Nook imprinted on the plug-works just like the original-arrived sooner than expected. Glad to find it because my local Barnes and Noble store searched in their systrm for about 1 1/2 hours trying to find one for me without success. This product got me going again on my Nook HD+ tablet/reader.

I bought this thinking it would be a great replacement for my worn power cable. It charged my nook HD+ and my son's nook for a few weeks and then my son said it stopped working. Sure enough, I did not even get 6 months of use out of it even though it was an original cable (it came in an OEM box). I ended up borrowing my mom's charger and charging my Nook HD+. I then wiped the device and will put the Nook app on a generic Samsung tablet. My Nook HD+ still works, but given all of the new Android exploits, lack of third party chargers that can last as long as the original, and the fact Barnes and Noble no longer supports it I cannot see keeping it any longer when newer tablets are faster.

so far it works.It helps me.Because when i went to Barnes and nobles where i bought the tablet they don't carry any more. The item is out of their market. Finally I got it here at a reasonable price compare to the other market.It works and my son can read his daily books.

This is a good beefy 2 amp charger, but it covers two outlets on a power strip. It's ok in a regular wall outlet. The best thing is it uses a standard USB connector so it can charge more than just a Nook (I have a Kindle Fire HD+).
