Just got back from a swing through the Radio Shacks round the area. (I have five within a 15 minute radius).

First one had one STR and one Glo. I cleaned them out.
They also had the Kindle Keyboard 3G for $39 and the Nook Tablet 8GB for $59. They had the Kindle Touch (with audio) for $59.
They had M-Edge leather cases for Nook at $4.97...
(This one: http://portables.about.com/od/ebookr...-Go-Review.htm)
...and for the various Kindles at $7.97. It looks like they're getting out of ereaders altogether.

The next stop at the big regional Mall had just one STR. They suggested the M-Edge case before I asked about it.

Third stop, they apparently had plenty. I picked up a second Glo and another case.
The staff tried to sell me a refurbed iPad Mini "at a discount". I passed.
Since I'd filled my target of likely stocking stuffers, I didn't check the other two sites.

The $10 discounts are good from 5-14 through 6-03 so no getting a $10 STR today.
(shrug)
I didn't even know about that sweetener.

They had a lot of different M-Edge cases on clearance at all the sites.
They are very nice so if you have a use for a reader or tablet case, swing by your local RS.
