Sales and Deals: eReaders, Kindle Lighted Cover, Kobo eBook Codes, and More

August 26, 2011 by Nathan

Kindle Lighted Leather Cover

As August winds to a close, there are a number of ebook readers and related items on sale, so I decided to put them all together in one long list instead of doing separate posts for each offer.

Note: These prices are current as of this post; obviously they will change as time goes by. Expiration dates are given when available.

eBook Reader Deals

NextBook Next2 is now selling for $99 on Amazon. NextBook’s devices are decent quality for being budget Android tablets…more info.

PocketBook 902 is on sale for $300 at E-Readers Plus (you have to call to get the discount). The MSRP is $379. Here’s more details about the PocketBook 902, it’s one of the better PDF E Ink ereaders, and a here’s my review of the 602, which is pretty much exactly the same as the 902 but is smaller.

Skytex Primer is $67.87 at Amazon, marked down from $129 (it usually goes for about $90). This is a color ebook reader and multimedia player from last year…more details.

Onyx Boox 60 is on clearance for $99 at Dulin’s because a new version with a Pearl display is replacing it. This ebook reader has a Wacom touchscreen…more info.

Aluratek Libre Pro is $49 at B&H.com after a mail-in rebate. This offer expires on August 31st. Here’s more info about the Libre Pro.

Refurbished eBook Readers

Kobo WiFi is $65 refurbished at Best Buy, as mentioned earlier in the week. This is Kobo’s ereader from last year…review.

Nook Touch is $112 refurbished from Barnes and Noble’s eBay store. The Nook Touch is B&N’s latest ebook reader that they just released back at the start of June…review.

Nook Color is $179 refurbished from Barnes and Noble’s eBay store…review.

Kindle 3 WiFi is $99 refurbished at Amazon. This is the regular version without special offers and advertisements…review.

Kindle 3 WiFi+3G is $129 refurbished at Amazon. The free 3G wireless extends to over 100 countries worldwide…review.

Pandigital Novel (white) is $84.95 remanufactured at Amazon. This is an okay deal for a 7″ Android tablet, but you’re better off getting one of the newer models instead…review.

Kindle Lighted Leather Covers are marked down to $49, that’s $10 less than normal. These are the covers that have a built-in light that is powered by the Kindle 3’s battery. They come in seven different colors.

    Clicking on the Pocketbook 902 link shows price at $379, but there is a banner above that says: “Call us now at 314-814-3380 for a PocketBook special promo deal!”

    It must be a special promo deal.

    I sort of want one of these, but I have to wait until October to see if Kindle DX gets update, and/or somebody else comes out with one in time for Christmas. Besides, I may find my new HP Touchpad adequate for PDF reading, especially if I can put Android on it.

      So you managed to snag a TouchPad, eh? I was tempted but I already have more devices than I can use. I bet there will be an easy Android fix in no time. And it should make for a pretty good PDF reader too, given the screen size.

    Yes I did, although still waiting for it to be delivered. I was going to ask you the other day if you got one, but I figured you hadn’t, for the very reason you gave.

    I think it should be fine for reading pdfs, however I doubt the webOS app will have all the functionality of EZ-PDF.

    Help..AnyBody;
    Anyone out there know about such a thing as an e-book reader handheld/handholder device? I have a 9″longX5″wide reader that gets heavy after a while of reading it in bed!
    Thank you,
