I got a Nook HD+ tablet 9 inch 16 GB, the one thats on sale for 149 bucks now at target and Wal Mart ?
Would a wireless keyboard work with the Nook
If so would this keyboard work with it

If not, which wireless keyboard would work with the NOOK HD + 9 Inch
thanks

That one definitely won't work, as it requires a USB input port; the nooks only have USB out. You may have success if you find a bluetooth keyboard; I don't know if they enabled the BT radio on the newer models (the older ones had a radio but it wasn't enabled without rooting the Nook).
HTH
He could just get an adapter.
You could connect a usb device with an adaptor like this:

But you'd need to root it (which I highly recommend) and probably do some configuration to get it to work.
Beware of Nook customer support - had an a hell of an experience with them.
The screen cracks easily, so be careful!
Why buy that keyboard when you could get one of these:
Also, I just found an UTL keyboard too: Link
That keyboard looks way too big for a tablet, even if it would work. You should look for something like this. Sadly, I don't think they make one with a Tigers theme.
I bought a Nook HD+ a few weeks ago and thought I got a good deal for $150. It's not a top of the line tablet, but the screen is great, and it does the basics well.
Barnes & Noble kind of screwed it up by installing software that slows it down. If you find yourself getting frustrated with it, you might consider rooting it and installing a custom ROM. That might sound scary, but it's not super complicated. If you have any more questions about accessories or anything else, you might want to try this forum instead.
I have had one of the original Nooks since they first came out and love it. I also have the Nook app for my iPad, and my daughter has a Nook Color.
That being said, make sure you know what you're getting into. The tablet is a good product and has a lot of nice features, but B&N is exiting the tablet business. So from a long term support standpoint, I'm not sure what you're getting into.
I'm also not sure what is going to happen with my Nook library (which is pretty extensive). Knowing the B&N wants to keep its customers, I suspect the libraries will be supported for a long time (they're exiting the hardware part of the business, not the e-book part of the business -- which has been profitable for them).
No judgment either way, I just wanted you to be aware of the facts.
If that Michigan UTL keyboard was compatiable, i'd buy it asap for the Nook
