It's been a while since we've seen a 9 inch tablet come close to $100, when the HP TouchPad which we called the ImmortaPad went on a fire sale and people made video YouTube wishes to get one. Well now the Nook HD+ 9" refurbished Android table is only $119.99 from 1Sale.com with free ground shipping.
