Classic Nook WiFi for $149???

kdittyr · 06-20-2010, 10:00 PM

WiFi-only Nook surfaces in Barnes and Noble database, costs $149?

Not sure if anyone has seen this, or if it is even true... I guess we will see on Tuesday.

Looks interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing some specs.

I was thinking about going and buying one tomorrow for my wife. I guess I should wait a few days first. I like the $50 coupon for books, but a $110 price break for giving up 3G is much better in my mind.

I'd heard rumors this would be the price point for it as long ago as three or four months back... so it makes sense to me.

Will they still give the $50 coupon with the reduced price?

Somehow, I doubt it.

Actualy i saw in my local best buy they had an ad corection noticed posted that the $50 gift card offer was being replaced by a new lower price of $199 starting monday.

D'oh! Sorry and thanks

This has been confirmed, and they have included a software update that adds Goto Page (which was holding me back from purchasing one... until now)

Wow, this could not have come at a better time for me! I just came back from a 2 week business trip to Asia and my nook did not survive the trip. It took a sharp hit from something in my computer bag right to the touchscreen and cracked it, even with the Industriell cover protecting it.

JSWolf · 06-21-2010, 09:03 AM

I think Kobo is going to be in trouble. The Kobo has less going for it then the nook and at the same price, I think the nook will sell better.

DannyElfman · 06-21-2010, 09:04 AM

149$ a 6" reader with wifi ?!

... it's a shame it will take ages before we see one in Europe

Thanks to the info though !

Ouch, sorry to hear that, now I guess the question is: do you get the WiFi only? Or do you go with the "original flavor?"

I don't yet have an ereader (other than my phone which doesn't count in my opinion). I have been interested in and looked at quite a few: Kobo, PRS-600, PRS-900, nook, Kindle 2, Kindle DX and a few others I have seen on this board. The world was my oyster, yet for some reason I kept coming back to the nook. I am hoping that this announcement pushes Sony to release information regarding their next releases... if there are any planned for this year. I would like to make up my mind before my July 4th trip to see my parents, hopefully with new ereader in tow.

Yeah, no kidding. Although, it may become a sub $100 reader... If that were the case, and if they can release some updates that make it a little better piece of hardware, they may crack open the market a little bit. We'll just have to see.

I was actually impressed with the nook at $259. I never use the 3G so I would have loved a Wi-Fi only version for $150. At that price it is easily the best reader on the market.
