Barnes & Noble revealed that it has collaborated with Samsung to create the NOOK App which is the only reading app on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids.

"This new relationship between Barnes & Noble and Samsung highlights both companies' commitment to children's literacy and learning," said Mike Saturnia, Vice President and General Manager of NOOK Sales & Business Development. "By making our NOOK App for Kids available on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids device, we are giving parents a powerful tool to encourage their children to digitally read, discover and learn in a safe environment."

The NOOK App for Kids provides a curated reading experience, with access to thousands of new and classic children's titles, and fully complies with the "Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)".
