Nook ST & Glowlight heavily discounted in UK
Argos, Currys, Sainsburys have all heavily discounted their Nook ereaders, is this a sign that a new one is going to be released or are these UK shops giving up stocking the Nook's due to poor sales?
Nook ST (£29) and the Nook ST GlowLight (£69) from the original £79 and £109 price, although the Nook ST has been on offer at £59 a fair bit. |

In stock at Argos, and Currys. Argos also do a deal that gives a third off a case if you buy it with the Nook.
Question is why are they discounting so heavily. I am tempted as I have a large library with them now due to the Fictionwise transfer, but I don't know anything about the Nook or how the memory is split as I've heard it's restricted to the loading of non Nook books. I don't really want to go down the memory card route. |

I've ordered one from PC world but they don't have stock at the moment so not sure when I'll get it.

You are right about there being limited space on the Nook itself, of the 2GB capacity only half of that is actually usable and of that only 250MB is available for non Nook books. The ability to expand the storage with an SD card is usually seen as a positive for an ereader though? Quote:

OK, ordered one from John Lewis (they are showing the discounted price now on-line). Will be ready to collect from tomorrow lunchtime.
Good price for a back-up reader. |

Oh, and I popped into a large Currys shop in Birmingham today and both the Simple Touch and the GlowLight were on display at the pre-discount prices and staff hadn't heard of any price reduction. Strange.

I noticed the two Nook tablets have now also been reduced in price for a limited time as well.

New nooks are released around June so I am thinking its more of them moving out the old stock.

I ordered a NOOK ST on-line, but then I also picked up a GlowLight from Sainsbury's, since I had a Sainsbury's voucher. The GlowLight's a birthday present, so I won't be trying it out until next week!
