Black Friday Sales - Nook

We're now in the holiday shopping season and sales abound. Below, you'll find current sales, Black Friday sales, Cyber Monday sales, and any other promo out there. Let me know if you find something and I'll add it to this list. Happy shopping

• B&N -- $25 off (w/ membership)

Nook Color ($199)

• B&N -- $25 off (w/ membership)

Accessories

  • B&N -- free $10 GC (w/ purchase of $100 GC)

• M-Edge Covers
  • Best Buy -- 50% off

*Note: please read the fine print in these ads. Many items have severe quantity restrictions per store. If it says "minimum 4 per store", there's a good chance your store will only have 4 in stock. Recent trends find people camping out a day or two (and even longer) in advance to be first in line when the sales begin.

Wish we'd see some actual eBook sales.

BFAds' Black Friday iPhone App

The BFAds.net Black Friday app lets you plan your Black Friday shopping trip weeks in advance as it provides you with early access to the season's best sale advertisements and deals from major retailers! Browse the ads by store or category, read the latest sale news and even create your own shopping list to take with you to the store on the big day!

It's a nice app. I have it on my iPod touch and I'm in the process of building a shopping list. Very handy to have the ads readily available.

Best Buy has some sort of "early online access" to their Doorbuster deals for Rewardzone Silver members (I bought a computer this year so that got me there). The Nook Touch for 80 bucks looks to be available through that service.

No idea yet if there'll be a limited number online like in the store... (there probably will be). No way would I go stand in line for a midnight opening just to save 20 bucks...

I don't shop there enough to make the Reward Zone bit worthwhile. My points expire and the odd $5 RZ Cert I get ends up expiring also.

I hope you get one at that price.

With B&N selling refurbished Nooks for $79 (free shipping) through eBay I can't see any reason to fight the crowds. There's even a discout on a few of the covers if buying at eBay (just a small selction though). It's available now, so not a Black Friday deal.

Yeah, these BF deals suck. They keep getting worse each year. BF deals I plan on getting are a Sansa Clip Zip, a few 16GB mSD cards, and possibly a Kindle Touch. Non deals I'm getting are a Nook Tablet and a Samsung Galaxy Player.

I did notice some good BF deals on storage, like cards and hard drives. Of course not the most current models/sizes, but certainly good enough for many anyway.

I was hoping for something great in 32GB mSD cards; but again, no.

You can also get the refurbished Nooks direct from B&N for $79.

They still list refurb Nook Colors for $149.

[Red Alert]

I suspect the reason there aren't sales on ebooks themselves is the need to recoup the hardware costs.

If the reports are accurate, the Kindle Flame is sold for less than the actual manufacturing cost. For sure it is being sold at "loss leader" prices with the anticipation that future sales of ebooks and "apps" will turn the loss into a plus.

See this post of mine in another thread for a pretty good BF deal on the NST:

FYI, this is an even better way to get that deal:

Staples should also have a $25 of $75 deal going, apparently, which isn't too bad.

Thanks for the info, but it's sold out online. In store purchase only, which means those other offers won't be allowed.

In store: $99 - $30 GC = $69 + any offers your credit card might offer.

It looks like it's back as being available as an online purchase. Hopefully you can catch it before it goes out of stock again!
