The Nook tablet was priced directly to compete against its biggest rival: the 7-inch Fire tablet of Amazon. Tech consumers will find the rear camera the icing to the cake. But e-reading addicts will find that the curated reads by Barnes & Noble editors is the best feature this $50 tablet has to offer.
