I still think it's strange they picked they're "next gen" device as one with a lower ppi (same resolution as my two year old Nexus 7 2012) screen than the current device . More of a sideways move for a user than an "upgrade".
The Galaxy Tab 4 is smaller & lighter than the Nook HD

Nook HD 194.4×127.1×11.0 (mm) ~300g
Galaxy Tab 4 187x108x8.9 (mm) 276.1g

Pretty much the only advantage to the Tab 4.
