Barnes & Noble have announced that their Nook Video service is now available in the UK for its Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets, and the service will offer movies and TV shows from a number of companies.
Barnes & Noble have signed new agreements to deliver content from companies like BBC Worldwide, HBO, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Starz and Warner Bros. Entertainment.

NOOK Video features a diverse digital collection of popular classics, blockbuster hits, new releases, original television series and local favourites available for streaming and download. NOOK customers across the UK can now shop and experience their favorite movies and TV shows like never before seen in spectacular colour and stunning definition on NOOK HD, the world’s highest-resolution 7-inch HD tablet, and NOOK HD+, the lightest full HD tablet, for an unparalleled portable entertainment experience. Offered in standard and HD formats, videos that are streamed and downloaded from the NOOK Store will be stored safely and securely in the NOOK Cloud, so NOOK Video content can also be enjoyed on other devices via soon-to-launch free NOOK Video apps.
Expanding Content Partnerships
The inclusion of content from major entertainment companies like BBC Worldwide, HBO, NBC Universal, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Starz, and Warner Bros. Entertainment ensures that NOOK Video offers a rich and varied selection of media. This means that users can enjoy everything from critically acclaimed TV series like “Game of Thrones” and “Breaking Bad” to blockbuster movies such as “The Dark Knight” and “Inception.” The partnerships with these content providers highlight Barnes & Noble’s commitment to delivering high-quality entertainment to its users.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
The Nook HD and Nook HD+ tablets are designed to provide an exceptional viewing experience. The Nook HD boasts the highest resolution for a 7-inch HD tablet, making it perfect for watching movies and TV shows in stunning detail. Meanwhile, the Nook HD+ is the lightest full HD tablet available, offering a larger screen for those who prefer a more immersive viewing experience. Both devices support standard and HD formats, ensuring that users can enjoy their content in the best possible quality.
One of the standout features of the NOOK Video service is the integration with the NOOK Cloud. This means that any videos streamed or downloaded from the NOOK Store are stored securely in the cloud. This not only provides peace of mind for users, knowing their purchases are safe, but also allows for seamless access across multiple devices. Barnes & Noble plans to launch free NOOK Video apps, enabling users to enjoy their content on other devices, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of the service.
In addition to movies and TV shows, the NOOK Video service also offers a selection of local favourites, catering to the diverse tastes of UK audiences. This ensures that there is something for everyone, whether they are looking for the latest Hollywood blockbuster or a beloved British classic.
The launch of NOOK Video in the UK represents a significant expansion of Barnes & Noble’s digital offerings. By providing a comprehensive and high-quality video service, the company is positioning itself as a major player in the digital entertainment market. The combination of top-tier content, cutting-edge technology, and user-friendly features makes NOOK Video a compelling choice for anyone looking to enjoy movies and TV shows on the go.
