  • NOOK Tablet 7" -- 1024 X 600, 169 ppi
  • iPad mini 1 7.9" -- 1024 x 768 = 163 ppi


The disappointing news:
  • The screen specs for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 7" are a step down from the NOOK HD and NOOK HD+
  • The 8GB onboard storage is paltry
  • The price difference from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 7" is minimal

The meh news:
  • The screen specs for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 7" are a step up from the NOOK Tablet (which I enjoyed reading on)
  • The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 7"accommodates a 32GB microSD card

The upshot:
  • Doubtful I'd buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK 7" for myself, as it would be two steps down from my NOOK HD 7"
  • The device seems like a nice and affordable ereader/tablet for first-timers
