Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE: BKS), the world’s largest
retail bookseller, today announced a new NOOK 7” tablet with
expanded storage to carry your virtual library, and an updated
reading experience just in time for holiday shopping. This sleek
and lightweight 7-inch tablet is Barnes & Noble’s most
affordable NOOK device at just $49.99, and is on sale today in
stores nationwide and on BN.com.
The new NOOK 7” tablet offers double the storage space as the
previous model at 16GB (expandable up to 128GB), a front and rear
facing camera, Bluetooth capability, a headphone jack, a speaker,
and a microphone. The new NOOK is a full-featured tablet with a
beautiful LCD display, connection to the Google Play Store, as well
as a soft-touch finish and upgraded NOOK software for an improved
reading and browsing experience.
“The new NOOK 7” tablet is a lightweight and affordable option
for book lovers who also want the ability to browse, send emails,
and listen to music,” said Bill Wood, Chief Digital Officer for
Barnes & Noble. “We think this new tablet will delight both
current NOOK users as well as introduce new customers to this
affordable NOOK device.”
The new tablet has a custom home screen with easy access to your
current read and recent purchases and shortcuts for browsing the
NOOK Bookstore and Library. The tablet also gives readers access to
Barnes & Noble’s Browsery™, where book lovers can talk about
their favorite books and get recommendations for new ones from a
community of fellow readers.
Customers can find the new NOOK 7” tablet at their local Barnes
& Noble or buy it online at BN.com/NOOK7. The NOOK 7” tablet
joins Barnes & Noble’s largest tablet to date, the NOOK 10.1”
