Barnes & Noble has introduced a new Nook 7" tablet, which has expanded storage and a $49.99 price tag. B&N said the device offers twice 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.
Bill Wood, chief digital officer for B&N, described the tablet as "a lightweight and affordable option for book lovers who also want the ability to browse, send e-mails, and listen to music. We think this new tablet will delight both current Nook users as well as introduce new customers to this affordable Nook device."
