- Barnes & Noble announced its plans to launch a new video service in the U.S. this fall for Nook tablets (followed by a holiday release in the UK).
- Nook Video will be a streaming and download service that offers film and TV content from HBO, Disney, Sony, Starz, Viacom and Warner Bros. Other top studios will reportedly be joining soon.
- Barnes & Noble is also developing free apps that will allow users to access the service on other tablets, smartphones and connected TVs.
- Content downloaded from the Nook Store will be stored in a cloud-based digital locker, allowing users to stop and resume viewing from any supported device.
- “Nook Video will also integrate a customer’s compatible physical DVD and Blu-ray Disc purchases and digital video collection across their devices through UltraViolet,” explains the press release.
- “Customers will soon be able to easily link their UltraViolet accounts to the Nook Cloud allowing them to view their previously and newly purchased UltraViolet-enabled movies and TV shows across Nook devices and Nook Video apps, as well as through third party applications,” adds the release.
