Also find out who wins in the battle of technology Nook HD or Kindle Fire HD: https://techthirsty.com/2012/09/27/nook-hd-vs-kindle-fire-hd-new-tabs-on-the-block/ Offering users a 9-inch tablet, with price lower than $300, Barnes and Nobles hopes to take on other competitors such as Google and Apple. However, considering the prices, these tablets do beat its competitors as the Nook Tablet HD will cost $199, while the HD+ has a $269 price range. But even cutting down the prices of large tabs will be a little difficult to convince users to pick up Nooks instead of an iPad or Nexus as they have better apps in app store, better clarity, better resolution etc. These Nook tabs come equipped with an e-mail service and weigh just 18.2 ounces. They will also hold access to the company’s curated app store. With a screen resolution of 256 pixels per inch, these tabs will run on 1.3 Ghz. dual-core processors. The 9-inch tablet has 16 GB of memory, and will come in a 32 GB model for $299. The 7-inch tablet comes in a choice of white or black color, and has 8 GB of memory for $199 or 16 GB for $229. Up for pre-orders now, Barnes and Noble will ship these tabs in late October. They will hit the shelves in stores, starting November.
