How to get $188. I just placed an order, $217 include tax.
I cannot stack any other coupons on top of $199(before the tax).
sweet -- but anyone know of equivalent deals on the 32Gb version?

I was able to return/ rebuy my HD+ that I picked up on BF. If you have bought your nook from BF on, you have until January 12th to return your nook at staples.
You saved me 70 bucks!! Thanks

Thank you for the heads up!
I've been running a rooted Nook Touch for quite some time, as well as an older Nook Color with CM installed. I'm actually on the verge of looking for a larger tablet that can better handle PDFs, and had almost passed on the HD+ until I saw this deal...
That said... For those of you with the HD+, how would you compare the experience with the rooted CM10 HD+ to the stock unit? I used the stock reader on the HD+ to look at a larger PDF in the B&N store, and it was absolutely terrible. I'm not entirely keen on having to rely on dev supported workarounds in order to have the hardware work, but for 200 bucks, I might look the other way. My other runnerup is the Lenovo A2109. Though it has a so-so screen, the hardware and other functionality seems to be great. It's also available for about $230, making the price point quite attractive for a 9" tablet.
If the HD+ experience post root and CM10 hugely improves on the capabilities of the hardware, when compared to the B&N stock software, then I may have have to reconsider it. Did you all find the tablet to be much improved?
I'd appreciate any feedback you all can throw at me! That Staples price makes this very, very tempting.

I would not say the CM10 is any faster than stock HD+. In fact the nook reader is much worse on CM10 than stock. I don't know what you were using to read that PDF on stock, but the stock nook app on stock was very smooth and fast reading a magazine and very choppy using the nook app on CM10. And the post root does not change the underlying speed of stock, just makes it so you have access to more apps. So maybe you could run adobe reader that does a better job than the stock reader for PDF.

Low cost sleeve for HD+
This sleeve is good quality (was sold by verizon for ~$40) and fits the Nook HD+ very well. Lengthwise the nook just fits, while there is a little bit of extra space vertically. The nook slides in easily, but is not loose. The edges all around have a hardened seam which might help protect the nook if dropped on the edge. The sleeve is not flimsy, but I would expect it to protect the screen only from minor impacts.
It has been on sale for as low as $1. I'd say it's still a good value at $5 as the alternative is some poor quality neoprene sleeve. It has a small verizon logo on the front which is hardly noticable. If I see them go on sale again I will probably buy another.

I imagine they're on clearance due to many 10" tablets not being able to fit.

Nice post I was going to give the heads up too.
Things of note if you go and by it off the shelf it will cost regular price. If you reserve it at your local store from the website you can get the sale price and have it within an hour. I took mine back to BN drove across the street and pocketed $70... love it.

When I went to get mine I just mentioned to the cashier that the price on their website was $199. They checked online to confirm the price then price matched their own website.
the 22nd? heh, nope. the price is already back up.
I actually had it in my cart at the lower price and....I dunno what happened...I lost the page and was gonna redo it but the price had changed.
Saw this on woot community deals Sunday. Ordered. Got it Tuesday, wow.fast. Made a sd card with Verygreen's CM10 and am rocking. Went back on Staples.com to verify price before I told anyone but the price had already gone back to regular.
Just to post an update...
The price has indeed increased. I suspect Staples ran out of stock, and removed the discount. That said, I swung by Staples last night, and decided to give the HD+ a try. Manager matched the online price, and I was out the door for 199 and tax.
Impressions? CM10 via SD card is vastly superior to the stock B&N offering. It feels snappier, and rendered my PDFs much quicker than the HD+ store demo unit running B&N's version of ICS. I was actually quite surprised at just how much better the tablet feels and performs. For $199, it was quite the steal. I figured if I didn't like it, I could simply return it to Staples and find something else, but as it stands, there's nothing that would make me want to do that. It's a great piece of bang for the buck hardware, and the screen is fantastic.

SanDisk?
Do you have a SanDisk microSD card? I tried it with a GSkill and it's a bit laggy, and nearly unusable in the browser. I'm getting a SanDisk today. Hopefully that fixes my problem.
