Samsung in collaboration with Barnes & Noble has announced a 7-inch tablet targeted at e-book lovers. The Korean giant would incorporate the Nook software into the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 tablets and retail them as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook. It won’t come as a surprise as Nook’s hardware business was already failing and also the disappointing sales of the Nook HD tablet; it would seek future partners for its future devices.
