Mother’s Day is drawing near so it’s time for all the Mother’s Day sales to start kicking in. There are some good deals to be had on tablets, ebook readers, Kindle covers and cases, and ebooks too. Even Sony is getting in on the action with a sale on the PRS-T2. And B&N is selling the Nook HD and Nook HD+ at record low prices.
To start things off, Jump Desktop is the free Android app of the day over at Amazon. It is a remote desktop app that normally costs 10 bucks.

I’m really tempted with the GlowLight at £69. Would someone care to give me their guess as to if these drop in prices from B&N could be the signal that they will launch an improved lighted e-reader soon? I read somewhere that they use to launch new devices around June. I would really appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
Hi, I see that the Nook HD and Nook HD+ are $149 and $179 respectively. They now have access to Google Play too. Thanks. God Bless. Aaron.
Good point, Aaron. This was posted before the big Nook sale/news so I went back and updated it.
