It was a losing fight, though. As Android-tablet prices pushed ever lower, B&N could no longer hold the line on the hardware. The big bookseller decided to scrap development on its own tablets and pursue a co-branding arrangement instead, choosing Samsung...

Barnes & Noble's first co-branded tablet with Samsung falls short. It's a basic Android with some appealing Nook integration, but it doesn't go far enough, and the hardware stumbles for the price versus other 7- and 8-inch slates. Read More…...
