quite a few Nook covers on sale at B&N B&M stores - August 2011

[sufue]

I don't know if this is a really good and/or time-limited sale or not, since I don't stop in at our nearby B&N B&M store much (at all). My apologies in advance if these things are on sale all the time, and since it appears to be mostly an in-store thing, YMMV! But, if you're looking for a Nook cover, there were a bunch on sale yesterday at our local B&N store, so it might be worth looking at your local store.

I just bought myself one of those $169 Buy.com Nook Color refurbs, and I passed the B&N store on my way home from the dentist last night, so I stopped in to look at available covers. I expected them all to be quite expensive - and they were - but about half of them were on sale, varying from 30% to 75% off. That brought many down into what I consider to be a reasonable price range. And, surprisingly there were some nice ones on sale too, not just the obviously dorky ones - although the 75%-off ones WERE pretty dorky. And, there were covers on sale for several different models - Nook Color, Nook Wifi, that new small Nook...

I got a nice serviceable zippered neoprene cover for $15 (half off $29.95) and it included a free "tassel" to hang off that funny corner cut-out...not that I'm going to use that.

I took a quick look online, and there are only a few covers, not nearly as many, on sale online, so I suspect this is a B&M store extra-stock clear-out sale, but still, I was happy with the savings I got.
