It’s powered by a quadcore processor and has 8GB of storage that’s expandable suing microSD cards up to 128GB.

The Nook Tablet 7″ from Barnes & Noble has a 7 inch 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display which is certainly nothing to write home about. It runs on Android Marshmallow with custom Nook software on top. It also features a 5 megapixel rear and 2 megapixel front camera. Barnes & Noble says that the battery is good for up to seven hours on a single charge.

The Nook 7 looks like a good $50 tablet for people who want to mainly read, watch video, play less hardware intensive games, video chat, and office tasks.

I haven't been hearing much news about Barnes and Noble. It is good to hear that B&N is trying to find other ways of getting more costumers instead of struggling to stay open like many retail book stores.

I can see this being a popular Christmas gift this year.

I also see this tablet being popular as a Christmas gift this year, or a prize for Christmas contests at work, school, and online website forum contests for forums which are related to electronics, mobile, ebooks, tablets, etc.

This tablet maybe popular with mobile gamers who mainly play less hardware intensive games like Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, Minecraft, or play 3D games like Asphalt 8 in low to medium-high video quality settings depending on how 3D video intensive the game is.

For that price, I might consider getting one for myself. Actually, I might have my hubby get this for me.

To be honest, I only see myself using this to read with. It would allow me to read on the go without having to carry around a bunch of books with me or worry about my books getting torn up.

I think many users will get this tablet mainly for reading, and occasionally listening to music and watching video because it can use a MicroSD card which is 128GB in size, and the 8GB of internal space can hold a lot of ebooks, and text documents.

A lot of paper books and text books are very expensive, or are collectors items like rare game guides for older video games for the Playstation 1, so it is disappointing when they get lost, stolen, or torn up when you travel with them.

I agree. Plus, you can get covers and stuff to protect it. I think it would be easier to protect one of these things than you could a book. Especially if it's a rare book like you said.
