Barnes & Noble joins the tablet wars in earnest today, with the Nook Tablet, a $249 offering that, like the Kindle Fire, is largely intended for consuming media like e-books and movies. The device, which you can pre-order now, will be available on November 18th, in time to do battle with its Amazon-spawned foe, which ships three days prior. When the device launched Monday at an event in New York, B&N CEO made sure to take a dig at the Kindle Fire, calling it “deficient for a media tablet,” and promising that “content will render better on Nook,” according to CNN. Naturally, you’ll be wanting to know how the Nook measures up against its rivals–not just the Kindle Fire, but also the Apple iPad.
