The new Nook Tablet will cost $249 and will be available in stores on Nov. 17.
It will compete head-to-head with Amazon's Kindle Fire, which sells for $199.
The 7-inch Nook Tablet has a more powerful processor and twice the storage capacity of the Kindle Fire.
Barnes & Nobel and Amazon have been locked in a price war to offer the cheapest e-reading devices.
Amazon's black-and-white E Ink Kindle is the cheapest, selling for $79.
Barnes & Nobel cut the prices on its existing e-readers. The Nook Color is now $199, down from $239, and the Nook Simple Touch black-and-white reader, which has no browser, is now $99, down from $139.
Unlike Amazon, Barnes & Noble doesn't offer streaming services, but the Nook includes preloaded apps from Hulu and Netflix Inc. that allow users to subscribe to stream movies and TV shows.
