Barnes & Noble has collaborated with Lenovo to create the Nook 10" HD tablet, which succeeds the Nook 10.1" tablet that was introduced in 2018. The new tablet will cost $129.99 and will be available in early April.
The companies described the Android device, which weighs 0.9 lbs., as "a stylish yet durable tablet with full metal body and 85% screen-to-body ratio." It will offer e-books, digital newspapers and magazines, Google Play, Google Assistant, Kids Space from Google and FM radio, and has front and rear cameras, Bluetooth capability, and dual audio speakers powered by Dolby Atmos. It is also designed to be easy on the eyes.
Susan McCulloch, senior director, Barnes & Noble Press and Nook operations, said that the new Nook is "great for reading, playing games, or watching video. It will hit stores just in time for spring and it makes a wonderful gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or graduations."
Tony Chen, v-p of Android business, consumer segment of intelligent devices group, Lenovo, added: "We're excited to turn the page with Barnes & Noble on the thin and light design of the new connected Nook tablet that offers e-book lovers the best of both worlds--a full featured Lenovo Android tablet beloved by fans with everything you know and want from Nook at its heart."
