Samsung and Barnes & Noble have teamed up to announce the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. The tablet-cum-eReader comes with a 7-inch screen sporting a resolution of 1280 x 800. 

The co-branded tablet sports modest specs under its hood but makes up for it with its low price and the freebies bundled with it. Nook states that its latest tablet is lighter (9.74 ounces) and thinner (0.35 inches) than any of the colour eReader it has ever sold before.

“The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK is the most advanced NOOK ever, delivering the great NOOK experience our customers have come to love, with the high-performance tablet features they’ve asked for,” said Michael P. Huseby, Chief Executive Officer of Barnes & Noble, Inc. “We invite reading and entertainment fans to visit their local Barnes & Noble store to experience the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK. Once they do, we’re certain they will make this innovative device part of their daily routine.”

The full specs of the Tab 4 Nook are as follows:

• 7-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800
• 1.2Ghz quad-core processor
• 1.5GB RAM
• 8GB of internal storage space, microSD card slot
• 3.15MP rear-facing camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera
• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS
• Android 4.4 KitKat

The Tab 4 Nook will also provide access to the digital collection of books from Barnes & Noble, which has an expansive library of over 3 million books, comics and graphic novels. Buyers of the tablet will also be entitled to more than $200 worth of free Nook reading and entertainment content.

The device is already available for sale in white and black colors for $179 after a $20 rebate on Barnes & Noble bookstores.
