Order any Nook device today using your MasterCard, and B&N will throw in a free $25 Barnes & Noble Gift Card, as well as free shipping. This offer applies to the entire Nook product line, including the $99 Nook Simple Touch, the $199 Nook Color and the brand new $249 Nook Tablet. Find out more about all three devices, as well as this offer, on the Barnes & Noble website:
At just $99, the Nook Simple Touch offers an easy and affordable way to take all of your books on the go. This model features the E Ink display and Best-Text, which promises fast, easy reading -- even in the sun! It also allows users to explore over 2.5 million books through the Nook store or your public library. All of them are easy to snag through the device's built-in Wi-Fi support. This model also boasts some long battery life. According to B&N, you can ready for up to 2 months (1 hour a day) before you need to charge it up!
If you want to step things up, there's the $199 Nook Color. Obviously, the biggest bonus on this is that it has color, with the 7-inch VividView touchscreen. Besides all of the same books, magazines and other titles available, this one also adds in apps, such as Angry Birds and other games, music, and much more. It also allows you to check email and access video on the go. According to B&N, this one will soon add services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as Nook Comics, so it's a nice investment!
Our own Ian White checked out the Nook Color earlier this year and said it's "a best buy and the eReader to beat." Read his entire Barnes and Noble Nook Color eReader Review for more information on this model.
At the top of the Nook heap is the brand new $249 Nook Tablet. This is the company's latest and greatest offering. Out of the box, this one has Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, and much more. It's also got the 7-inch VividView touchscreen, access to 2.5 million books, magazines and apps, email and web support, and an extra-long battery life.
If you're going to buy one of the above products for yourself or someone else, make sure to do it today -- and use your MasterCard. That will get you the $25 gift card, as well as free shipping. That's a nice little bonus, allowing your recipient to get a few books or magazines to go with that new device!
