They were on "clearance" because
"they didn't have chargers, weren't color and they couldn't be used to browse the web." Last time I was in they had a Nook Simple Touch for $25 -- and the guy told me to make an offer when I was looking at it. But I left that one and I'm kind of avoiding the store, so I don't get tempted to buy more. They're also sold on Craigslist around here -- often for $20 or $25. My brother picked up a WiFi Touch (in OEM lighted Kindle case) for his wife, for $40.
