Barnes & Noble Deal Includes eReader with Tablet Purchase
By Cynthia Herbert :: 11:47 AM
Book retailer Barnes & Noble is offering a special deal this week on its Nook HD+ tablet, the larger of its two tablet offerings.
The company had been including a credit of $50 toward Nook content, but has now sweetened the deal by including a free Nook Simple Touch E Ink e-reader, which usually retails for $79.
The Nook HD+ offer starts at $269 for the 16GB tablet model, and runs from March 24th through the 30th.
This deal is not surprising for the company. It had a lackluster set of sales numbers from the holidays, and obviously is eager to get some inventory moving. Also, the e-reader is due for a refresh soon, and this is a good way to get the warehouse shelves cleared out before new technology arrives.
