HotHardware: It seems that Barnes & Noble is serious about getting its NOOK under the Christmas tree this year. This morning, it chopped the price of the NOOK Simple Touch from $99 to $79. That has to gall people who have been picking them up in the past few weeks, but it’s good news for the procrastinators.
Barnes & Noble will stop selling digital books for its Nook device on 15 March, the firm said on World Book Day.
TechPrezz: We had reported Barnes & Noble’s plan to launch a Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablet a while ago. It had already announced the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook and promised to launch it in the early August. Though it took the company a bit longer than expected to finally launch the device, the company has finally launched the device at Samsung’s Nook tablet event and is available on sale starting today.
Maximum PC: "Talk of tablets rarely falls on the Nook, which fair or not has been largely overshadowed by competing slates. Looking to change that, Barnes and Noble has teamed up with Samsung to develop co-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook tablets featuring B&N's digital reading experience. The new device will mesh Samsung's Galaxy Tab 4 hardware with customized Nook software."
