The Nook Tablet, released in recent years, low-cost devices with Android operating system and applications dedicated to the reading of digital content from the B & N Store, but have not experienced the same success of the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. For this reason, in the month of June, the company announced it would stop production of the Nook Tablet, while still producing the ebook-reader with e-ink display. The idea was to collaborate with other device manufacturers to continue to offer tablet in stores B & W or those of partners. But it seems that the company has "intention to continue to design and develop ebook-reader and tablet Nook."
The change, is following the resignation of CEO, William Lynch, reported in the last financial report of the company , which also highlights the economic difficulties of B & W, with a decrease in turnover of 20% than last year. According to the company, the financial loss is due in part to marcanza of a series of best selling books such as The Hunger Games or 50 shades of gray, but also to the increasingly fierce competition between the supply of physical books in the stores and to ebook, which can be read on e-book readers and tablets.
It is not clear whether we will see a new Nook tablet this year, but the company ensures that before Christmas will be launched a new Nook device. Since B&N has reduced the price of almost all models Nook in recent months, it is difficult to predict which device will be replaced by the one coming. B&W is developing a new Nook Simple Touch high resolution or color ebook-reader ?
