Apparently one Galaxy Tab-braned NOOK tablet wasn’t enough for Samsung and Barnes & Noble, as the manufacturer and book retail giant have just announced a newer, bigger variant.

The new tablet, the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1, was officially announced on Wednesday, October 22. The new tablet is not only a larger version of the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook that launched in August, but it’s also the same exact device, specifications wise, as the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 that launched earlier this year.

The Galaxy tab 4 Nook 10.1 features a 10.1-inch 1280×800 display, with 16GB of built-in storage and 1.5GB of RAM. There’s a 3-megapixel camera on the back, and a 1.3MP front-facing shooter on the other side. It will have a microSD card slot for extra storage, a battery that measures in at 6800mAh and it will be running Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box.

Barnes & Noble says that if you register the new tablet, they’ll offer $200 worth of books, music, apps, magazines, TV shows and plenty more, plus an additional $5 credit that can be used to buy even more content. As far as a release date goes, it’s available now, and you can make it yours for $299.99 through Barnes & Noble’s website. If you’re curious about the 7-inch variant, that model is now going for $169.99.
