Touch Best price for new Nook STR $70!!

javamaan · 11-20-2011, 02:57 PM

Ok folks IMO this is the best deal.

Target has a sale where in they are selling Nook Color and Nook STR for $199 and $99. If you buy it for next couple of days they are also giving you $30 GC.

I bought Nook STR for $99 +tax - $30 target gift card.

You can get Nook color for $199 +tax - $30 target gift card.

The next best price on BF by best buy for $80.

Considering you can get a refurb Nook str for $79+tax, i think Target price is great.

I paid $88.82 for the NOOK STR including shipping and tax BEFORE the $30 gift card. Didn't need this thing at all but who cares at that price. I'll buy an amazon gift card with the target gift card and use it for my kindle fire.

DiannaInVA · 11-20-2011, 08:06 PM

I was able to get it for 87 and with the $30 gift card that means I got the touch for $57. I was debating about buying this or the kindle touch for my mom, but this price made the decision for me. Now I just hope my mom doesn't buy one for herself *sigh*

I'm debating (it's currently in stock at some of our Targets still). I have two Kobo WiFis I got at a Borders liquidation for $50 each, one for me, and one for my mother in law (Christmas presents to each other).

However, since she gets flummoxed by technology (she's smart, she just has herself convinced that she tech is too complicated), I'm wondering if I should grab the Touch for her. The Kobo is admittedly clunky on interface and slower on page turns. She wants an ereader just for reading library books (the Kindle would be a little simpler, but she doesn't want ads or emails bugging her to buy). I wonder if I should stick with the $50 Kobo, or get the STR.

I'm tempted to grab it at that price + GC, keep it boxed, talk it over with the fiance, and I can either return it for a refund, or keep it and wind up selling the pretty much unused WiFi (only updated and loaded books on it). Of course, I'm worried about reports of the touchscreen going buggy.

You have a mother-in-law and a fiance???

emilikins · 11-22-2011, 12:42 PM

Sorry, I just refer to her as my mother in law because adding to be after it just gets clunky.

Whew...

was able to get all the discounts applied on my second try. Earlier in the day the Nook disappeared from my cart when it went back into "store only" mode.

got shipping confirmation this morning. 59 bucks and change for me with our high sales tax.

Shushan · 11-25-2011, 02:22 AM

while I would have loved to save even more like some of you did, I am just tickled to have my Nook at that Target deal at all. I read it about it with only hours to go here on MobileRead and my family and I got one with half an hour to closing

....and we used the card on another family's member's Christmas present we knew wasnt likely to be on sale anyway. So win-win! Thanks!
