Just to stay on topic - this price is really a steal. And website said price is good until 12/20/17[/QUOTE]
Actually, it now looks like it's good till 12/25/17. Thank you OP, I would not have known about this and I'm taking the dive! I have some credit card points I can redeem for a BN gift certificate that will just cover this. I had a Sony 350 for years which I loved and a basic Kindle for a short time which I did not. I so miss page numbers (not "locations") for ALL books and the biggest additional draw here is the night mode. I'm often up in the middle of the night and this should be perfect for a quick read before slumbering back off. Also like going back to the option of touch or buttons (as I had with Sony). I assume I can download Nook books to my PC and transfer to Calibre as I do with Kindle and Kobo books? Shout out to mobileread -- the customer service and knowledge base of the employees at BN was not impressive, but everything I needed to know I found right here...including this great deal!
