I think it's a price reduction, not a sale. I saw it at Best Buy today and there was no indication that there was a sale. But even if it was a sale, how is that being dishonest. It still cost $149 same as the nook and Kindle?
Regarless I say you need to relax. No need to insult people on your very first post and continue to harass people on their recommendations. Everyone here is just being helpful. Including your first post your follow up post however have not been.

Hey the nook has two screens 1 is touch.. 1/2 are touch hey that's half baked
I don't like their eInk implementation I think it's a poor design. If my opinion has hurt your sensibilities then I apologize for causing you so much angst, misery and discomfort.
The nookCOLOR is sweet they did everything right on that model. It's a full touch screen, they threw in all the right hardware and will support the device with the latest version of android.

Actually it makes a lot of sense, they're a hardware company and don't make a lot of sales on their eBook store. The nook and Kindle can be competitively priced because they make up their cost on the store. (incidentally both book stores lock you into their store... see the pattern)
Yes I agree, I then to think the SONY hardware is the best, but for me I bought into the service and content. Which for me Amazon is far beyond it's competitors.

Hey something we both agree on, I totally agree. After owning a SONY-PRs505 for 3yrs I have only bought two books from them and that was on the first week I owned the device.
I'll also throw in their software is absolute garbage.
