Amazon and Barnes & Noble have announced price drops on their respective tablets this weekend, in an effort to boost sales in Europe.
Barnes & Noble, which recently announced it would stop manufacturing tablets and instead license its Nook platform, has dropped the price to clear out any remaining inventory.
In the UK, the only country to have Nook tablets, the prices have been dropped to £99 for the 8 GB model 7-inch Nook HD (down from £129) and the 9-inch Nook HD+ has fallen to £149 from £179.
Amazon has also discounted their Kindle Fires across the board. The 7-inch Kindle Fire HD will now start at £139 (down from £159) in the UK and start at €169, down from €199 for the rest of Europe.
