Furthermore, Barnes & Noble is offering a minimum of 50 percent off on hundreds of best-selling Nook books. As part of the Black Friday promotion, several popular Nook books, including "Plum Lucky" by Janet Evanovich, "The Cider House Rules" by John Irving, and "Crewel" by Gennifer Albin, will be discounted to $2.99. Additionally, if you're in need of accessories for your Nook, Barnes & Noble has you covered. They are offering a $10 Industriell cover for Simple Touch and Simple Touch GlowLight devices, along with a 25 percent discount on other Nook HD accessories until December 1st.


2013. Barnes & Noble giving away free E-Reader with tablet purchase



Barnes & Noble is facing challenges as indicated by its recent fiscal quarter report, which revealed a 26% decline in Nook sales compared to the same period last year. In response, the company is leveraging every opportunity to attract new customers. As part of its strategy, Barnes & Noble is currently offering a complimentary Nook Simple Touch e-reader with the purchase of its Nook HD+ color tablet. This promotion serves as a signal that sales of either one or both of these devices are currently underperforming. The Nook Simple Touch is the company's entry-level e-reader, featuring a black-and-white eInk display, and it is currently priced at $79 after a $20 price reduction in December.


2012. Nook Simple Touch plays pricing catch up with Kindle



Barnes & Noble has recently reduced the price of the Nook Simple Touch from $99 to $79, making it a direct competitor to the $69 Kindle 5. Both devices feature 6-inch black-and-white screens, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 2 GB of storage. While the Nook Simple Touch is slightly wider, thicker, and heavier than the Kindle, it offers a longer battery life of two months, surpassing Amazon's e-reader which lasts for one month. Additionally, the Nook Simple Touch includes a microSD card slot and comes with a charger, setting it apart from the Kindle 5. On the other hand, the Kindle 5 displays ads on its screensaver, unless users opt for the ad-free version priced at $99. However, in the competition between these devices, the pricing of the device itself may become less important. The availability and pricing of books are likely to be the key factors influencing consumers' choices.
