Rarely is the first guide on the market the best guide for a product. The NOOK HD was released in November in time for the holiday buying season and many publishers rushed their books out to either beat Christmas or position themselves to be one of the few search results that would come up when the newly minted and confused NOOK HD owners came to (or Barnes and Nobel I guess since this is a Nook product we're talking about) looking for help.The result was as expected some guides were apparently based on beta software that didn't reflect what was shipped with the final NOOK HD. Other guides got the big picture, but didn't take the time to do the appropriate research and lacked depth.If you were disappointed by guides like this in the past or if you've held out for that elusive, comprehensive, beautifully laid out NOOK HD guide wait no longer. The NOOK HD Missing Manual is that book. I'm going to try to avoid being cliché by saying it should be the manual that shipped with the Nook because frankly it's a hefty (well over 400 pages), but it would be amazing if it had been preloaded and just popped up the first time you turned on the device.If you've read any of the Missing Manual series before you'll know what to expect in terms of layout and commentary, but if you're new to the series you're in for a treat. Bolded keywords, full color HD screenshots, and clearly labeled "Notes" and "Tips" make finding the exact content you're looking for a breeze. The table of contents is broken down into quite small sections and the index is about as comprehensive as they come. All of that means that if you just want to use this as a reference guide you can, but I'm not sure you'll want to. The best part about the Missing Manual series for me is the commentary.
