Last Black Friday, Best Buy was selling the 8GB iPod touch 4 for $195 w/ a free $50 gift card.

Last Feb, Walmart was selling the Kindle Fire for $199 w/ a free $50 gift card. And currently, Walmart is selling the Kindle NT for $79 w/ a free $30 gift card.
So why don't ebook retailers do the same thing to get around agency pricing? Buy this book for $11.99, get a $5 gift card toward your next purchase.
