Nook Tablet 8gb at Staples for $156 +tax AC.

Quote from nanotech : Was thinking about selling my the Kindle Fire I got my 2.5yr old son and getting this Nook Tablet instead. But I paid just $139 for the refurbished but pretty much new Fire from Amazon and would be paying $172 for this. Not worth $33 more. For the 16gb version yes, not for the 8gb version (again, because of RAM issue). Will just keep the Fire until the new Nooks come out and just upgrade then. By the way, a BIG reason for buying this at Staples is to get the warranty, only $49.99 for 2yrs and includes accidental damage. if you're buying this to hand it to your toddler, or even if it's for yourself, I think that's a good investment. You get a full cash card ($199.99, not the discounted $175) if anything happens.

Are you the father of that etrade baby?

Quote from swordheart : Definitely you can use 30 off 150, my order got through this morning and is ready for ship. Plus online shopping you can use cash back website, upromise now offering 5% cash back or 8% with upromise card.

How did you get the coupon and how did you place the order?

lol!

It's actually a good learning tool if you can limit exposure to it. He watches a highly ranked word-reading development video for 20min during breakfast (preschool prep series) and then just plays some games that teach him animals, counting, colors/shapes, etc.

Absolutely don't want him hooked on "the screen" and especially not video games. He uses it at most about 5hrs a week, but I anticipate that going up a bit as he starts learning math and languages using the apps. The interactivity is better than just watching a TV program and they think they're just playing a game! The key is for you to at least watch/play along with the kid at least half the time, the kid and the device alone all the time is not good.

And it just seems that the Nook has a better selection of kid-friendly apps. I rather see 100 very high quality apps than a 10,000 crappy ones that I have to sort through to get to maybe 100 high quality apps (android mkt).

wait for google tablet...

Search on ebay there are a lot seller and you can request an immediate email delivery of coupon after payment. For order through cash back website, just search staples and click through the link to staples webpage and make the purchase. Just remember to input the coupon code before check out.

Quote from rblittleton : These have been dropping in price all over lately (other vendors too). Is this because of Tablets or is something else on the horizon?

Massive deflation?

The coupon's I have seen there seem to exclude tables and name Nook specifically:

"Not valid on any desktop or laptop computers, netbooks, tablets, eReaders including Amazon Kindle and NOOK by Barnes and Noble,"

Did your coupon have the same restrictions?

From what I understood from other members on SD is that online coupons all have these restrictions, hence the in-store coupon which does not have that restriction. My nearest Staples is a ways away, so that might kill the deal for me... Any more information you can add will be much appreciated.

Yeah...I'm yet to find an online coupon that didn't exclude the Nook. I have found that only the $25 off $75 in store coupon works. All the ebay online codes have the tablet/e-reader exclusions.

PM me if you need to buy from ebay, attach my order confirm email with $30 off.

Quote from eyegonzo : Don't forget to sign up for the free trial offers through staples. 2 free months of Hulu plus, 1 free month of Netflix and that includes a $20gc to Staples. http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/pr...index.html

Can you tell me more about this? I don't see any reference to another $20 giftcard?

Thanks!

Quote from utoma : does that mean. i'll get 2 staples $20 gc? one from the nook tablet. one from signing up for the technology offer? In the end I would spend 180 after tax. + $40 dolalrs back in staples GC. the same I paid for the kindle. I guess Its time to buy and return kindle

Nook Tablet is a better tablet than the Kindle Fire anyways.

Better processor, twice the RAM, expandable memory, faster speeds, etc.....

Thanks for deal. Rep

Going to make a great mothers day gift.

Fire vs Nook. I've had the fire and I think it is awful out of box. So limited because of amzn world. The nook will be so much better because of netflix and hulu. I watched the 8gb nook vs 16gb nook. I don't think that 1sec or less will kill my mom's experience. I'm not an app user either and I doubt she will be too. Plus, I'm invested in the B&N library and I will load the NT with my account to share. Also, NT is focused as and ereader with tablet features. As an ereader the NT can do more with the fonts and how it displays the text. Not to mention B&N is a book company. They are focused on making books for an e-reader. Their children books have mor features. Where as the Fire is an entertainment streamer. But if you don't have Amzn Prime then it's more of a waste. Plus, the hyped up browser is awful slow too. I sent the Fire back to Amzn. Much more happy with my Playbook as a tablet for my web browsing/email.

Out of box (because I'm not going to maintain whatever hacks for my mom since I can't even keep up with my own) the NT is better because she is an avid reader. Plus, it takes epub files. And she watches crazy tv shows sooo Hulu+ is a win.

next to the netflix icon it says $20GC. But that $20 GC is to apply to netflix probably
