Barnes and Noble has rolled out an early Black Friday Nook deal exclusively for B&N Members.
They’re taking $50 off the price of the 7.8-inch Nook Glowlight Plus (members have to be signed in to see the discount during checkout).
$149 is a good price for a waterproof ebook reader with a 7.8-inch E Ink screen that has a frontlight with adjustable color temperature. That’s 25% off the regular price of $199.
Check my Nook Glowlight Plus review for more details about B&N’s largest Nook ereader.
Barnes and Noble also has select Nook accessories, both for their tablets and ereaders, on sale for 50% off, but that doesn’t have anything to do with Black Friday as they’ve been running that deal for a long time.
From the wording of the promotion it sounds like non-B&N members will be able to get the $50 discount starting Thursday, but with B&N it’s hard telling. Their stores will be closed for Thanksgiving day, and their in-store deals begin on Friday.
You can find Barnes and Noble’s other sales on their Black Friday Deals page.
For what it’s worth, read the 1* reviews on B&N before buying. I have NOT had this device in my hands, but none of what these reviews talk about would happen with a Kindle Paperwhite, Voyage or Oasis. Nope, NOT an Amazon employee, just a book lover who hates the idea of people being disappointed.
My review isn’t exactly positive either but some people still prefer Nooks.
NO “Issues” with my GL3. Works fine. The membership requirement has been dropped from what I saw on the BN site . The store in my area is open for business.
I recommend a cushioned pouch to store the GL3 in. An add on case makes it feel much heavier than I care to deal with.
