The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1, announced dnesday, is the second tablet born of the new partnership between Barnes & Noble Samsung. The companies paired up for a seven-inch, Nook-bred tablet just two months ago. The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is launching with an “introductory price” of $300 directly from B&N, which implies the cost may eventually jump up, though it’s likely just marketing speak. To sweeten the deal, buyers get four e-books for free an episode each of The Newsroom, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Octonauts. Other perks include four, 14-day free trial magazine subscriptions. The internals match up with the non-Nook Galaxy Tab 10, sporting a 1280 by 800 screen with 149 pixels-per-inch. The tablet has 16GB of storage, expable to 64GB with an SD card. It has a 3Mcamera 1.3Mfront facer, if you really plan on taking photos with your 10-inch tablet. Barnes & Noble’s next move is to split off its Nook division into a separate company to focus on digital content, with the old-school branch honing in on running traditional bookstores.
