That is a good idea. It would be funny to be all enthusiastic and get on the air then ask why BaN's website lists retail as $250.

and the '100 ebooks' are probably all books you could get on Project Gutenberg, google books, or any other site that has free books (think classics like Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, 20,000 leagues, etc.)

Yeah, that was my impression too.

Yep your right .. they have the list of the 100 books and ALL are the Free Download any of us can get..

and they are using only a 2 gig card.. but again I suspect the price will drop the day of the sale.. That is how they usually price these things..

but then again.. when QVC was selling the 6 inch Kindle it was sold for $335 with a light, a 4 gig card , three protective skins, and four screen protectors, Ear buds and the price on amazon was $180 so you dont' know.. will just have to turn in and see what they do.... should be fun to see anyway

What a bunch of punks!

Hopefully at that price it becomes buy one and get one free!

I am glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this. It would have sprayed all over my screen

 

[darmeen]

Glad I could help!

I hope that price isn't an indication that B&N will raise the price on NC. Note a 2gb msd card loaded with 100 ebooks is included, this is not something usually included is it? Def not enough to raise the price $50, unless those are very pricey ebooks

Great name and avatar. Nope, not even close to $50 especially since it has been determined that the books are freely available.

Haha thanks J515OP. I'm looking forward to getting one of these, and I'm constantly worried B&N will realize what a value the NC is and raise the price :O! Not probable though, I know.
