Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (ereader) @Staples B&M Clearance $69.90 YMMV

Hmm the gizmodo link makes me nervous about this one. I bought one today and they offered a 2year warranty with it. The lady said if it breaks or any accidental damage occurs I will get credit for what I paid for the device, I don't even need to send it in (since barnes and noble will no longer support these). Anyone use their warranty program before?

yes, in the case of an unfix-able issue they issue you with store credit.

I picked one up. The reality is that, for the price, it's a fantastic ereader even if the glowlight ends up going defective on me. The standard at $50 might be a better deal, but it's nice to have all the new bells and whistles that go with the newest model. And maybe the company will address the problem down the road, and the screen won't be an issue. But for the price? Still easily justifiable, and still cheaper than the cheapest Kindle without touchscreen.

I decided against picking up mine, because I didn't want to have to deal with the screen issues. To me, $50 is worth it for the Paperwhite. Especially since I have Prime anyway and get benefits associated with that. Was going to root the Glowlight, but I read horror stories about that screen and how if you barely bump it, it causes a bright light to show.

Just keep in mind that it's only the light that's affected. If you turn off the light, the ereader is still top of the line in terms of features and usability, and you won't notice the problem at all. You'll get all the new features of the new unit at ten dollars less than the older unit. So you just have to ask yourself if the $50 difference is worth it for getting a light on the Paperwhite which, by many accounts, has its own pretty serious issues. Had it not been for the clearance, I would've absolutely waited for the next iteration to come out. But for the asking price, it's cheap enough that I can just leave it in the van for when I need a reader while waiting for whatever activities the family has me waiting in a line for. If you HAVE to have the light, though, it seems the best bet is still the Paperwhite.

Oddly enough, my favorite ereader (and I've had them all...!) is still the stupid Sony that was on clearance for thirty bucks at Target a while back. Touch screen, ultra thin, directly links to the library system, touch screen and buttons... The screen isn't quite as good as the other readers, but it's so ultra thin and sleek that I don't care. It's a blast to read on it.

I picked up one at my Staples.

Also found the regular Nook Simple Touch is on clearance for $49.90.

Picked one up at Staples. The regular simple touch was $60, so the extra $10 for the glow was a no-brainer for me

forgot to thank/rep OP! Grabbed a GlowTouch at a semi-local PGH Staples last week.

there's a few deals going around now for purchase of Nooks coming w/$30 gift card but this deal still wins out. likely going to be a new device soon (or everything just being discontinued) but i'm sure people will be happy with this for a pretty long time (especially rooted).

Picked one up. Very excited to become a "modern" reader!

Picked one up in San Rafael, CA. They weren't out on display but the staff were happy to grab one for me. Just rooting it as I type so I can get my kindle books on it! Thanks op

Sent from Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

Smoking deal! Most stores have pulled their inventory off the shelves. Call and ask if they have any in stock. Both stores by me had them in the back in Socal! Grabbed 1! Thanks Op!!!

Anybody know of a good cheap case?
