Barnes & Noble commissioned Atomik Research to conduct an online survey of 1,502 adults in the United States who plan to read a book this summer / Image: Freepik

This summer, eight out of ten American readers are planning on putting away their smartphones and burying themselves in books instead, a new survey by Barnes & Noble reveals.

In an independent study conducted on 1,500 reading adults, many are hoping to find some extra time to read this summer.

As many as 38% are planning on reading one to three books this summer, while 37% hopes to read as much as four to six books.

A vast majority (69%) will choose a print book, a quarter – an electronic device, while 7% will listen to an audiobook instead. Of those reading or listening on an electronic device, one-third will choose an e-reader, another third – a cellphone, and the rest will go with a tablet.

Almost half of the subjects will go for mystery books, followed by the history genre (37%), fantasy (34%) and science fiction (33%). Additionally, fifteen percent of summer readers are planning on joining a book club, with seven percent already in one.

Parents are hoping their youngsters will ditch smartphones and videogames and choose books instead

According to a survey conducted by Atomik Research earlier this year, nearly 90% of parents with children aged between 6 and 17 years old plan to ask their children not to spend their summer using electronic devices only.

Almost half of them (44%) is hoping their kids get off the computer for more than three hours a day; one-fifth would be happy to see their kids device-free for one to two hours.

When it comes to reading, roughly one-third (35%) of surveyed parents are expecting their children to read four to six books this summer, while a quarter wants them to read ten or more books. Another quarter hopes their little ones will read at least one to three.

Running out of ideas what to read this summer? Make sure to check out the Barnes & Noble bestseller list for some inspiration.

The new 10.1-inch Nook runs on Android Oreo, and comes with the keyboard case and charging dock.

Barnes & Noble has just announced the new Nook Tablet 10.1. For $129.99, you get the 10.1-inch screen, 32 GB of internal memory, front and rear camera, and microSD card support.

[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]

The 2018 Nook is B&N’s largest tablet ever. The 10.1-inch IPS display is optimized for reading, but you can also conveniently play games or watch movies on it. The display has similar specs as Amazon Fire HD 10 released in 2017: screen resolution of 1920 × 1200 px, and pixel density of 224 ppi.

So far, the largest device in the offer was Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook – the $249 tablet launched in October 2015 sporting the 9.6-inch screen with 1280 × 800 px resolution and 157 ppi pixel density. Nook E is still available in the B&N online store, with a price reduced to $149.99.

Just like other Nook tablets, the 2018 10.1-inch Nook is powered by an Android operating system – this time it’s Android Oreo. The system is modified to focus on the user’s content from the Nook Store.

What is important, unlike Fire tablets, Nook 10.1 (2018) gives access to the Google Play Store. It’s basically an affordable Android Oreo tablet that you can use to access and enjoy content from different digital platforms, not only the Nook, but also Google Play, Scribd, Kobo, or Kindle.

The new Barnes & Noble tablet comes in one storage option (32 GB), but you can expand the memory as it sports a microSD card slot. You can use the cards that are up to 256 GB. It’s an extra cost, as the card is not a part of the package.

Following the trend set by iPad Pro, and recently also Amazon Fire, the 2018 Nook comes with two original accessories. One is a dedicated keyboard case; the other one is a charging dock.

No more details about the accessories have been provided so far, except the fact that they connect not via Bluetooth or cable but special connectors. Barnes & Noble calls them “pogo-pin connectors.” They are the most convenient way to charge and use the device. The connection is being established immediately after you place the tablet in the case or dock.

The new Nook looks lightweight and smooth. The back is made from the material that has a soft touch finish to give you “holding comfort that lets go only when you do.”

The newest 10.1-inch Nook tablet is already available for pre-order in the B&N online store. Shipping starts on November 14, 2018. On this day, you will be able to test the new Nook in Barnes & Noble stores across the US.

Or maybe you prefer the new part of the Millenium series by David Lagercrantz, The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye?

Harry Potter fans will be excited to see the new edition of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with fascinating, magical illustrations by Jim Kay. It will be released on October 3, 2017.

Barnes & Noble’s biggest books of fall 2017

The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye - David Lagercrantz

The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye (Millennium Series Book )

David Lagercrantz

From the author of the international bestseller The Girl in the Spider’s Web, comes the fifth novel in the Millennium series.

Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo and the brilliant hacker – even she has never been able to uncover the most telling facts of her traumatic childhood. Now, when she sees a chance to uncover it, she enlists the help of Mikael Blomkvist, the editor of the muckraking, investigative journal Millennium.

And she will let nothing stop her—not the Islamists she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the prison gang leader who passes a death sentence on her; not the deadly reach of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla.

A Column of Fire (Kingsbridge) - Ken Follett

A Column of Fire (Kingsbridge Series Book )

Ken Follett

Ken Follett’s bestselling saga started with The Pillars of the Earth, taking place in a fictional medieval town Kingsbridge, continues with the new magnificent epic.

Ned Willard wants nothing more than to marry Margery Fitzgerald. But the lovers find themselves on opposing sides of the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants dividing the country.

The real enemies, then as now, are not the rival religions. The true battle pitches those who believe in tolerance and compromise against the tyrants who would impose their ideas on everyone else—no matter what the cost.

The new novel will delight longtime fans of the Kingsbridge series and is the perfect introduction for readers new to Ken Follett.

The Sun and Her Flowers - Rupi Kaur

the sun and her flowers

Rupi Kaur

From Rupi Kaur, the New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry.

A vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Ancestry and honoring one’s roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself.

Divided into five chapters and illustrated by Kaur, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. A celebration of love in all its forms.

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

Origin - Dan Brown

Origin (Robert Langdon Series Book )

Dan Brown

You were waiting for it. Robert Langdon returns in Dan Brown’s new stunningly inventive and entertaining novel.

Langdon arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a billionaire whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure.

When the meticulously orchestrated presentation erupts into chaos, Robert Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event.

Turtles All the Way Down - John Green

Turtles All the Way Down

John Green

bestselling author John Green returns with his first new novel since The Fault in Our Stars!

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett’s son, Davis.

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

Leonardo da Vinci - Walter Isaacson

Leonardo da Vinci

Walter Isaacson

Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science.

In his new book, Isaacson shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical.

The Rooster Bar - John Grisham

The Rooster Bar

John Grisham

John Grisham’s newest legal thriller takes you inside a law firm that’s on shaky ground.

Mark, Todd, and Zola came to law school to change the world, to make it a better place. But now, as third-year students, these close friends realize they have been duped.

And when they learn that their school is one of a chain owned by a shady New York hedge-fund operator who also happens to own a bank specializing in student loans, the three know they have been caught up in The Great Law School Scam.

But maybe there’s a way out. Maybe there’s a way to escape their crushing debt, expose the bank and the scam, and make a few bucks in the process.

To access Nook Store online, visit Barnes & Noble online store, and look at the main navigation bar. On the left-hand side, just below the Barnes & Noble logo there are two links (see screenshot above):

  • Nook Books – it’s where you can find start shopping for digital books, newspapers, and magazines,
  • Nook – this section is devoted to Nook devices and apps.

There is a very handy feature that makes navigating the B&N site much easier. When you hover over the link in the main toolbar, a drop down menu appears that lists most important elements of the section. For instance, the shorcuts to Nook books look like this:

Access Nook Store - shortucts  to major sections

From the drop-down menu, you can not only explore Nook books by category but also easily find special section (featured under “Customer Favorites” and “Departments”), including:

  • Nook Daily Find,
  • Nook Book Deals,
  • Top 100 Nook Book Bestsellers,
  • Nook audiobooks.

From here you can also directly go to your Nook library – the list of ebooks you’ve added to your B&N account.

Alternatively, you can go straight to Nook Store by typing nook.com in the address box of your internet browser.

Nook Store bestsellers

Nook Store bestsellers

Each book publication offered in B&N’s online store is available in several formats: print (paperback and hardcover), ebook (called “Nook book”), and audiobook (“Nook audiobook”).

Therefore, it’s up to you how you want to find the bestselling books. You can start from bestseller lists featured in both Books and Nook books, and you’ll land on a book’s page where you can choose the preferred format.

Note: When you decide to explore bestsellers from the print books section, please keep in mind that some titles, even the newly released ones, may not be available in Nook format.

Some of the book bestseller lists featured on Barnes & Noble website are common, but some are specific to print and Nook editions. Obviously, the latter refers to rankings based on sales.

B&N Top 100 Bestselling Nook Books

If you are looking for current Nook bestsellers, this list is the first destination to check out.

The ranking is being generated by sales and is updated as it happens, so sometimes the order of titles is changed after you refresh the page in your web browser.

You can use the tools available in the left sidebar, to filter the results by:

  • subject – there are over 50 specific categories to choose from,
  • price range – starting from Nook books under $5,
  • format – book, magazine, newspaper, catalog,
  • age – for children’s and teen books.

One feature is very helpful. When you refine your search by picking up a particular section, for instance, “Graphic Novels & Comics,” you will be presented with one hundred titles in this category, not only the ones that made it to general Top 100.

The New York Times Bestsellers

The list reflects the current ranking of the most influential list of bestsellers published every week by The New York Times.

The original NYT Bestsellers list consists of five sub-lists for both print and ebook editions, but in the Nook Store you’ll find the one that focused on ebooks – grouped in two directories:

  • ebook fiction,
  • ebook nonfiction.

Five top selling titles are highlighted on each list. You’ll see all 15 publications when you hit See All button.

Barnes & Noble Stores’ Bestsellers

As I’ve mentioned above, you don’t have to browse for bestsellers in the Nook Store. When you explore the section with print books, you can also find interesting bestsellers list.

One of them is the list that collects the books that enjoyed most sales in Barnes & Noble bookstores across the US.

The list is being updated every week, and you can find here fiction, non-fiction, and young adult books.

Nook Store - find Nook edition on the list of available book formats

Once you find an interesting title, click on its cover or title, and you’ll go to the book detail page. In most cases, Nook edition is on the list of available formats.

Nook Store deals

Nook Daily Find is one of the most important Nook Store deals

Just like other ebookstores, Nook Store offers several deals, for both the ebooks and the devices.

On top of ongoing deals described in more detail below, such as Nook Daily Find, it’s good to visit the Nook Store for:

  • Valentine’s Day deals – at the beginning of February,
  • Mother’s Day deals – the beginning of May,
  • back-to-school deals – August/September,
  • Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals – the end of November,
  • end-of-year deals – two last weeks of the year.

Nook Daily Find

It’s much more convenient to offer one-day promotions for ebooks than printed books. Amazon has Kindle Daily Deal, Kobo has Kobo Daily Deal, and Barnes & Noble offers Nook Daily Find.

Nook Daily Find is the most popular ebook deal on Barnes & Noble website. Every day one or two titles are heavily discounted – one is the main deal, and the other book is a deal from a selected category, such a romance, mystery, or young adult.

Usually, the price is cut by no less than 50%. Many times the savings are between 70 and 80%. The prices range from $0.99 to $3.99.

The purpose of running a daily ebook deal is to lure customers to the store as often as possible – and maybe they’ll buy not only the currently discounted title.

Nook Daily Find landing page lists also other Nook deals

If you had to bookmark in your browser a single page from Barnes & Noble online store, it should be definitely the Nook Daily Find. It’s the hub that links to other current deals offered in the Nook Store. They are listed in the left-hand side scrollbar, in a section called “Special Values’ (see screenshot above).

There is also a chance to get Nook Daily Find in your email inbox. You’ll get notifications once a day. They will focus on the daily deal and nothing else.

Simply, use the sign-up form under the featured book on the landing page of Nook Daily Find.

101 Nook Books Under $2.99

Launched at the beginning of 2013, this deal section lists over 100 (and not exactly 101) Nook books that were discounted to cost no more than $2.99 each.

Barnes & Noble claims the books listed here are “gripping thrillers, steamy romances, former bestsellers.”

101 Nook books under 2.99 each

The prices are at the same level as Nook Daily Find so it’s good to check out the selection from time to time

The list is being changed every two weeks. Most attractive titles are usually available during high shopping seasons, such as Black Friday & Cyber Monday.

Nook Books Under $5

If you want to extend your search of low price books, check out the list of books that cost no more than $5.

This main list is curated by Barnes & Noble editors and includes usually around 500 titles. The highlighted titles are found under “This Month’s Under $5 Favorites.”

However, if you scroll down the page to reveal “Nook Books Under $5 by Subject,” and click on a specific category, you’ll see the list of all books in that category that cost under $5:

  • fiction – over 430,000 books,
  • mystery & crime – over 40,000 books,
  • biography – over 30,000 books.

You can sort the results by price, to get the lowest-price publications first.

Nook Store special sections

Explore Nook Channels - special Nook collections curated by Barnes & Noble booksellers

You can find in the Nook Store many special lists that make finding interesting titles much more convenient. The best way to start a more complex search is from the directory of Nook Books by subject.

You’ll find here book categories split into three main sections:

  • fiction,
  • non-fiction,
  • kids & teen.

When you scroll down the page, you’ll see the directory of special sections, called “Customer Favorites.” All Nook deals are listed here, but also other lists, such as:

  • Enhanced Nook Books – these digital books containt not only text and images, but also audio tracks and video embeds. You’ll be able to play them on Nook tablets, and in any tablet with a Nook app installed,
  • Nook Channels – collections of books curated by B&N booksellers around cetrain topics. You’ll find here “A World of Crime,” “Just Like John Green,” or “Bedtime Stories,”
  • Nook Snaps – a collection of Nook books that are short enough to finish them in one sitting,
  • Nook Foreign Language – if you are looking for books in other language than English – the list includes the publications in over twenty languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Chinese,
  • Nook Book Bundles – if you follow a favorite book series, there is a chance its digital edition is not only available in separate volumes but also as bundles. This section lists all digital book bundles that are currently available.

Nook Store – devices and accessories

Compare Nook e-readers and tablets

As I have mentioned earlier, the section devoted to Nook devices, applications, and accessories is different from the Nook Store. You can find it under Nook in the main top toolbar of the Barnes & Noble online store.

Nook devices

On this page you can quickly compare all currently available Nook devices. You’ll find out key features, weight, and dimensions, as well as extra product specifications.

  • Apple’s iOS – iPhone or iPad,
  • Android – for instance Samsung Galaxy, or Google Nexus,
  • Windows 8 and 10.

Barnes & Noble offers also an app (for both iOS and Android) on which you can listen to Nook audiobooks.

Nook cases and accessories

Nook Glowlight Plus case covers and accessories

Barnes & Noble is famous for offering gloriously looking, fashionable cases for Nook e-readers and tablets.

Many users buy the case together with the Nook, and don’t look anywhere else on the web for alternatives. Why? Because in the section with Nook cases and accessories there are enough designs to choose from.

You can find here the designs both stylish and bright, and choose either a book-style cover or a slim sleeve. If you, however, don’t find the perfect case, make sure to visit our regularly updated list of best Nook accessories and cases.

Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook 9.6 – tech specs, comparisons, pics, and more https://ebookfriendly.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-e-nook/ https://ebookfriendly.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-e-nook/#respond Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:16:21 +0000 http://ebookfriendly.com/?p=109449 Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook 9.6 - ready for everything

Barnes & Noble introduces the large-screen Nook tablet at an affordable price of $249.

To complete the range of Nook tablets, Barnes & Noble has launched on October 7, 2015, the 9.6-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook.

See also:
[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]

The new Nook is the third tablet made in cooperation with Samsung, joining the 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4, and the 8-inch Galaxy Tab S2.

The new Nook is the largest device in B&N’s portfolio, but it’s not most expensive one. It’s cheaper than the 8-inch Nook S2 by $150. It equals the price of the smallest, 7-inch Galaxy Tab 4 Nook.

The launch price is $249.99, half the price of iPad Air 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 (both cost $500 each).

So, the price is attractive. What does the Samsung Galaxy Tab E offer for that price? Not much. The 1280 × 800 px screen in WXGA, with 157 ppi density, 16 GB of internal memory, two cameras (2 MP front and 5 MP rear), USB port and microSD slot.

And it’s pretty heavy. It weighs over half a kilo, 547 grams to be precise – over 100 grams more than its direct competitor, Amazon Fire HD 10.

Just like other Nook tablets co-branded with Samsung, the Nook E operates on Android, adjusted to center the user experience around the Nook Store. However, you will have easy access to Google Play, as well.

With the introduction of the third tablet, Nook users have now a clear choice:

[ef-reco id=”111653″ title=”Read also” info=”Top article”]

Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook – launch details

At the time of the announcement on October 7, 2015, the new Nook was available both in Barnes & Noble stores and online.

If you buy Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook, you can choose complimentary content from Barnes & Noble:

  • three books from a selection of 20 great titles featuring favorites such as The Gravedigger’s Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates, or On A Night Like This by Barbara Freethy,
  • three magazines from a selection of 25 popular publications, including Cosmopolitan, Esquire, and Food Network Magazine.

On top of that, through November 7, 2015, current Nook owners can visit any Barnes & Noble store to trade in select Nook devices. They will receive a $50 credit for the purchase of the Galaxy Tab E Nook 9.6. It will bring down the price of the new Nook to under $200.

Here is the list of Nook models eligible for the trade-in:

  • Nook 1st Edition,
  • Nook Color,
  • Nook Tablet,
  • Nook Simple Touch,
  • Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight,
  • Nook HD,
  • Nook HD+,
  • Nook GlowLight.

The new Nook comes together with a rather impressive collection of branded cases. The line of 2-way stand covers for Galaxy Tab E Nook includes as many as ten colors. Emerald, Sangria, and Blush are among them.

Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook – comparisons

Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook is the largest tablet from Barnes & Noble, but its features are not impressive. On the other hand, what you can expect for half a price of the iPad Air 2?

With 1280 × 800 px display and Quad-Core 1.2 GHz processor it can be only compared to the newly introduced Amazon Fire HD 10.

Samsung Galaxy Tab E Nook vs. Amazon Fire HD 10

Weight 547 g 432 g

Rear: 5 MP
Price $249.99 $229.99

The largest Nook tablet is also twice as cheap as the 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. Immediately, the question comes to mind why Barnes & Noble decided to follow the cheaper path instead of picking up the S2 tablet, just like they did for the 8-inch size.

$500 is the price users of Apple tablets would be willing to pay. For every other brand, the consumer’s choice path is from a more affordable to a more expensive model.

Going for a top-end model would not guarantee the sales. What Barnes & Noble is desperately looking for is a way to extend the user base. Because existing users are buying the content. And in the end, it’s the content where the money is, not the medium.

In that way, Barnes & Noble wants to compete with Amazon in drawing as many new customers as possible.

Anyone who bought a Nook device is not willing to change the platform, because of several issues related to content migration. In fact, it’s impossible to move the entire collection of movies, music and books from Amazon to Nook and vice versa.

Therefore, if you already own a Nook device, you are probably thinking of updating or upgrading the device. Here is a comparison of all Nook tablets made together with Samsung.

Barnes & Noble and Samsung partner for the third time to launch the most powerful Nook tablet ever.

Following the two joint tablets, the 7 and 10.1-inch tablets based on Galaxy Tab 4, the two companies introduced the third model – Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook.

See also:
[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]

For the price of $399.99, you get the thinnest, lightest, and fastest Nook tablet, which sports the 8-inch QXGA Super AMOLED display. Its resolution – 2048 x 1536 pixels – is the same as in the iPad Mini 3.

The display gives a deeper contrast, richer colors, and crispier details to maximize the reading experience and enjoy watching movies to the fullest.

The 2015 Nook tablet is based on the Galaxy Tab S2 – a recently launched Samsung’s new flagship tablet, and a replacement for Galaxy Tab S.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook has an internal memory of 32 GB, with a possibility to add 128 GB via a microSD card.

It’s super fast. With an octa-core processor (1.9 GHz Quad + 1.3 GHz Quad), it’s made for multitasking. It lets quickly jump between applications, books, or movies without any lag.

Just like earlier Nook tablets offered in cooperation with Samsung, the Nook S2 is using Android operating system, but it’s layered with a Nook interface to improve content discovery and reading experience.

The tailored interface is centered around Nook Store, but you will have easy access to Google Play as well.

A thing to note is that the new Nook comes preloaded with Microsoft Office Solutions (Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint).
[ef-reco id=”111653″ title=”Read also” info=”Top article”]

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook – launch details

The 2015 Nook tablet was launched on September 3, both in all Barnes & Noble stores across the U.S. and in the online Nook Store.

The price, set at $399.99, is the same as for its sister device, sold by Samsung.

However, with Nook you’ll get an extra content for free. Specifically, you can get:

  • three books from a selection of 20 great titles featuring favorites such as The Gravedigger’s Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates, or On A Night Like This by Barbara Freethy,
  • three magazines from a selection of 25 popular publications, including Cosmopolitan, Esquire, and Food Network Magazine.

On top of that, when you buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook, you will receive a $5 credit to help you explore the Nook Store. Barnes & Noble Members get an additional 10% off.

The new Nook is available in black, although Samsung also sells versions in white and gold.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook – comparisons

Fewer and fewer users go into a specific ebook ecosystem based on the technical specifications of the device they decided to buy.

In the end, what matters is how you use the content. The hardware should only help you better experience using the content platform: buying and reading books, streaming movies, playing music, or using applications.

When you buy Nook, everything will attract you to the Nook Store. You can still read Nook books on the iPad, using a Nook app, but on the iPad everything will attract you iTunes Store.

In the table below you’ll see three devices compared, based on the size of the display:

When it comes to iPad Mini and Amazon Fire HDX, we show the prices and specs for the entry-level versions.

As you’ll see, all three models have comparable displays, with Nook having the lowest pixel density. Both iPad Mini and Fire HDX have 16 GB of internal memory. If you’d want to increase it, you’ll pay:

  • $499 for the iPad Mini with 64 GB (there is no version with 32 GB),
  • $429 for Amazon Fire HDX with 32 GB.

The comparisons between the closest competitors still make sense, as they show how much you benefit (or lose) by being a user of a certain ebook platform.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook – official accessories

The times when the new Nook model was launched with a plenty of original cases and accessories are over.

However, unlike the latest GlowLight, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook comes with a few accessories.

On a launch day, 2-way Stand Cover was already available for sale. Currently, there are four color versions to choose from: Emerald, Blush, Midnight Blue, and – our favorite – Rectangles. We can expect the Red version to join soon, as it’s already featured in the header image of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Nook Accessories page.

There is no detailed info nor reviews for the 2-way Stand Cover. It is a solid and simple case that can be transformed into a horizontal or vertical stand.

The case is tailored for the new Nook S2, so it doesn’t have an unnecessary bulk. It keeps the device in place with plastic holders on both sides, so you’ll have easy access to all ports and slots.

In the Nook Store, you can also buy a Samsung-branded desktop dock. You can use it as a charger when you connect it to the computer. You can also use it as a viewing stand, either for viewing movies or displaying a recipe when cooking a meal.

20 best case covers for Nook Tab 4 7.0 and 10.1 https://ebookfriendly.com/galaxy-tab-4-nook-cases-covers/ https://ebookfriendly.com/galaxy-tab-4-nook-cases-covers/#respond Thu, 21 May 2015 13:58:37 +0000 http://ebookfriendly.com/?p=98639 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook cases and covers

If you’re planning to buy the new Nook tablet, you’ll love to hear the good news: there is a plenty of Galaxy Tab 4 Nook cases to choose from.

Barnes and Noble offers now Galaxy Tab 4 Nook in two sizes: 7-inch and 10.1-inch. You’ll find technical specifications at the end of this overview post.

A good news for any loyal Nook user is that, unlike Nook GlowLight, there are plenty of accessories to choose from, not only sleeves, but also custom-cut covers and cases.

[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]

Both the 7″ and 10.1″ Nook were launched with original accessories – two designs for a smaller tablet, and one for the bigger.

But this is not the end. Most importantly, the new Nook-branded tablets are nothing more than regular Samsung Galaxy Tabs, with a software customized for Nook users, to enhance the reading experience and content management of the Nook Store.

In other words, any cover that fits the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, will also fit Galaxy Tab 4 Nook.

This means you can shop for covers not only in the Barnes & Noble online store, but any other site. The situation that there was only one (and not very well accepted) official cover for Nook GlowLight won’t repeat.

Nook Tab 4 dimensions ( height × width × depth )

Model Inches Millimeters
Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 7.0 7.36 × 4.25 × 0.35 186.9 × 107.9 × 9.0
Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 9.58 × 6.94 × 0.31 243.4 × 176.4 × 7.95

If you’ll be ordering a cover or sleeve on Etsy, it’s always good to give the exact dimensions of the model to the seller. Just copy the dimensions from the table shown above and paste them into a “message to seller”.

Nook Tab 4 covers – recommended sites

And the last thing before the list. Here are the best online stores where you can browse for Nook cases if you won’t find the perfect one in the list below.

Amazon – the giant online store offers the largest selection of all kinds of e-reader accessories. There are over 800,000 results for a search phrase “Nook case”.

eBay – on eBay you can find many cases that are exactly made to fit a specific Nook model, or are universal e-reader cases. It’s always a good destination to check out if you want to buy a case at an affordable price.

Etsy – a top destination for vintage and handmade items, art, and supplies. There are sleeves made from a natural cotton, or customized felt covers, or jackets made from a genuine leather. It’s the online store with the largest number of bright and fashionable sleeves for Nook GlowLight Plus.

Just like any other overview from the Best 50 series, we are updating this list regularly. Also, make sure to check out our Nook cases infographic to see all the best designs in one image.

Please let us know if there is any cover that should be added to this list. We will update it frequently. Use the comment section to add your feedback – you can also share pictures there. Thanks a lot!
