This special Nook variant comes with a few pre-loaded Nook apps and offers 3 free books (from a selection of 20), 3 free magazines, and a $5 credit. It’s still priced the same at $400 for the 8-inch model, but those with B&N customers can get a whopping 10%-off with their membership. Hey, it’s better than nothing.

You can find the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 at carrier stores like T-Mobile and Verizon starting today, along with the usual suspects: Best Buy, and Amazon.

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.
