Heck, I'd walk into the store for a free Nook HD+. I have one, but I would never turn up my nose in getting another. Especially at that price - FREE!
Not me.
I'd feel too guilty.
I picked up four of the eink Nooks at the Radio Shack clearance so I figured I exploited their incompetence enough.

I don't understand how you could feel guilty. Their exploitation (by "customers") does not deserve to be any less than their incompetence...

Sorry.
I'm just not much of an old testament kinda guy.
I wouldn't even wish what they richly deserve on the BPHs, no matter how many despicable clauses they hide in their jointly-drafted predatory contracts.
It's a slippery road: first you wish they get everything they deserve and before you know it you're publishing internet manifestos from a cabin in Montana. Best not to get started, even for an Onion article.

I tend to rely more on the wit and wisdom of Clint Eastwood characters:

"A man has to know his limitations."

"We all got it coming."

I wonder how long before someone prints out that onion article, carries it into the store, and "innocently" shows it to an employee just to observe the reaction.

$10 for the Nook STR, $20 for the Glowlight, $7 for the M-Edge cases.
Three stores within a 15 minute drive. The last one had a ton.

The whole bundle came in at $88 plus tax.
They also had Kindles at $30 but I wanted the nooks to hack.
This was last fall...
Haven't been back to the third one...I wonder if they still have Nooks...

A fringe benefit of hanging 'round here.

(And a bit less terrific than I remembered... add a ten spot to each Nook. $19 and $29.)

They say the memory is the second thing to go...
