Barnes & Noble Nook SimpleTouch E-reader with GlowLight
Wait, you're saying. This isn't a new product. No, you're right. It isn't. But B&N has lowered the price of its Nook SimpleTouch with GlowLight from $139, the highest-priced of the three front-light e-ink e-book readers (Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite and the $130 KoboGlo, which went on sale yesterday), down to $119, which matches Amazon's Paperwhite-with-"special offers" price. And no ads on its glowing e-reader, B&N says, sticking it a bit to Amazon, which charges $139 for its ad-free version. Don't you love price wars?
