Barnes & Noble' subsidiary Nook Media LLC revealed in a Friday announcement that its wide-ranging catalog of reading and entertainment content on the much-admired Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets is being further expanded, with the addition of the popular Google Play digital content experience on these two devices.
According to the announcement, the Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets which - despite being Android-based devices - did not thus far have Google's own Play Store and other Google apps, like YouTube and Gmail, will now get Google's own app store along with its full collection of apps.
While the new Nook tablets will come pre-loaded with Google Play Store and other Google apps, a wireless update for the existing Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets will enable the owners of these devices to access 700,000 Android apps and games in the Google Play Store as well as the thousands of movies, books, and magazines in the store; together with Google apps like YouTube, Gmail, Google Search, Google Maps, and the Chrome browser.
About the addition of Google Play store to the 7-inch $199 Nook HD and the 9-inch $269 Nook HD+ tablets, Barnes & Noble CEO William Lynch said: "By adding Google Play to Nook HD and Nook HD+, we are offering our customers even more great entertainment on our award-winning tablets."
