Back in the early days of tablets , Barnes & Noble was a major player in the market, but revenue from Nook tablets and e-readers has reportedly fallen 85 percent since 2012. Barnes & Noble's last tablet, the $50 Nook 7, came out in 2016.
The Nook 10.1" will be going up against devices from Apple , Amazon , Microsoft and others this holiday shopping season. Amazon's 10.1-inch Fire HD tablet normally retails for $150, but will cost $100 during the retailer's Black Friday sale period starting Nov 16.
