Pretty much everything a Ipad can do except the camera. There are not as many apps for the nook as the Ipad but it is getting there. I now have gmail email also with it due to google in the last update. I love it. It goes wherever I go. Only thing I don't like about it - wifi - battery runs low real quick. I have watched movies, etc. I know they are offering it a lot cheaper this week for the HD+ - $120 off I think it is for Fathers Day. I have had mine since Christmas. I had the original Nook before it.
