Sadly, there is actually an answer to that question. As of today (24 November) they are simultaneously advertising the new NOOK GlowLight Plus for $10 off (right now) AND for $30 off Thursday through Monday. I hope they don't expect to sell too many today or tomorrow!
But, no worries! If anyone were foolish enough to attempt to buy one today they would find this:

Yes, that's right folks. Those shiny new NOOK GlowLight Plus units are "Temporarily Sold Out Online." Saving them all for Thursday? Or simply caught by surprise? Oh, Barnes & Noble! You so crazy!
Meanwhile, the previous generation NOOK GlowLight is still listed at $99. Not marked down at all, at least so far. If my math serves, this weekend these older units will cost EXACTLY the same amount as the new ones. Wondering why that old stock won't move, B&N?
Also, that big 30% off coupon does not apply to NOOK devices or Legos. That last bit is going to annoy parents from coast to coast. Well played, B&N. Black Friday shoppers just LOVE being tripped up by the fine print. Your cashiers are going to have so much FUN explaining that one!
