Like Amazon and Samsung, B&N's tablets have inferior specs compared to the Nexus. Asking the same price as a Nexus won't sell many tablets. Price cuts and or added accessories are a must in order to stay competitive until they release their next gen devices.

To techies, sure. But B&N has the advantage of selling Nooks in their store. The Nook Color and Nook Tablet are a bit of a different product than the generic Android tablets, software-wise. They are selling e-readers with some tablet stuff added, not straight-up tablets.
Certainly if I was a reader and not a techie, I'd go with a Nook first over a generic tablet - it's a much better e-reader than a generic tablet, software wise. And there's a lot better case selection for the Nook than the Tab 2 or the Nexus.
