Not a bad deal..If you like shopping at Walmart.

I don't think anyone "likes" shopping at Walmart
Oh, I do! Then I head home and check the latest entries in POW (People of Walmart) to see if my store is keeping up. So far, my crowd is fairly normal.
Sweet deal, but would rather see Amazon do this, with an Amazon GC, and no sales tax.
What about the fact that every dollar you spend there is contributing to the downfall of america?
no kidding
That said, tempting deal even though I have so little use for it. Got sick of the original Nook's lack of backlight, and bought the Nook color. Nifty little tablet once rooted, but overall it was too clunky to use for that purpose for long. Got sick of the weight of it for reading, and bought a refurb Nook Touch. Now I dislike having to use an external light again
Fuckers got me right where they want me. That said I have yet to get a single non-free ebook so I'm not exactly tied to the platform.
Trust me, this county's financial woes are not coming from my buying the same two liter bottle of Pepsi I could have bought at Target, both of which came from the same factory. Oh, and the country your profess to love so greatly is spelled with a capital "A."
Even if you bought a book, you can strip the DRM if you need to. Information is out there on how to do so for the Kindle/Nook platforms. I hope that doesn't change as I don't want to be tied to a platform.
That's sorta odd - most people I know prefer one display type to the other and wouldn't tolerate the other.
I don't like reading on tablets/phones/etc, but love reading on my nook. Though I did buy a booklight for it to read in darker areas (like as I'm about to sleep).
I kinda want to get a Kindle so I can take advantage of the loaner library. This deal is tempting for that, but I think if I root and install CM I can't use the loaner library which leaves me with a 7" tablet that is a bit gimp compared to the competition. If only I could use CM7/9 and keep access to the lender library/prime instant video but everything I have looked at says that's not possible.
Anyone know if this is upgradable to Icecream Sandwich? Seems like a good deal since the $50 can go towards the groceries thereafter. Wow, I wish we didn't have limited stores around where I live.
