Classic $100 B&N Card for

According to CNET, some people who placed early nook orders are getting $100 gift cards from Barnes & Noble if their nook doesn't ship by Christmas.

Dang! I wish I'd get an offer like that. Go ahead, ship it late, then ship me the gift card.

I'll be reading books on my sturdy eBookWise in the meantime.

Heh, turns out Abulia beat me to the punch:

I think it's a nice gesture on the part of B&N. No, it doesn't excuse slipping dates and not having enough supply to meet demands but it does demonstrate willingness on B&N's part to admit they could have done a better job. No one is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to give away $100 gift cards.

That said, it is just an e-reader. While my wife and I are enjoying our Nook, I'd have no problem getting $100 back and waiting 30 more days. The Nook doesn't cure cancer, enhance my daily life in any significant manner, or make the air cleaner.

It's a consumer electronics device and nothing more.

I was part of that group. Unfortunately mine arrived as they said it would, so no $100 gift card for me.
