Just in time for Christmas, Nook has come out with a slimmed down version of their ereader priced to match Amazon’s cheapest Kindle at $79.
This is good news no matter which ereader you prefer, as competition helps us all. It seems as though Barnes and Noble are hedging a bit on this, though. It’s due for release on Black Friday, but “while supplies last.”
There is no such limit imposed by Amazon, who we presume has plenty of Kindle’s in supply for the Christmas shopping season.
