If you’ve been looking for a deal on a Nook and have a Radio Shack nearby, here’s one *HOT* deal you may be able to score! For a limited time, Radio Shack stores have marked down this Barnes & Noble NOOK Simple Touch eReader for only $19.97 (regularly $79.99!).

    I’m wondering if you try to buy it in store if it will really be $19.99. The small print reads “Prices advertised on this site are for online orders only. Prices on some items may differ from those advertised in Radio Shack stores.” Seems to me like it might be an online only deal. Good idea to call the store and check on availability and price before you spend the gas money!

    • Shayla

      I just checked and mine just marked it down today and they have just one per store in my area. Going to get it after the hubby comes home so I can go w/o kids! Thanks Collin!!!

      • Memoi

        Are they saving it for you? I am guessing that if I call they won’t save it for me.

        • sue

          I just called my store and it is $59. something. 🙁 They are on clearance.

          • MyKeshea

            Have them scan it! When I called my store, the guy automatically said that it was $79. I asked him to scan it, and sure enough, it was on sale for $19.97! I went in a while ago and picked it up! Whoo!

    • Lindsay

      My husband got one at the mall by his work! There weren’t any around where we live! There was one left at the store and it was $19.99!

  2. Lauren

    My store has one left for that price and Im my way to get it now.

    • Heidi

      Lucky you! I called 3 local stores and they wanted the full price. 🙁 This is a great deal!

  3. Courtney

    I just called my store to confirm and she checked online before she would honor the price, but I got one on hold! Yay! Thank you so much!

  4. tjens146

    I just called three of my local stores, and only one actually had one left and they put it on hold for me! (They were really confused about the price at first, but they said that it did ring up at 19.97!) Thank you!!!

  5. charlette

    Same here in Houston, TX. Called the store and there’s one left and they are holding it for me. Thanks Collin!!!

  6. Tina Joyce

    Best Buy price matches. i believe that I have seent them in store

    • cindy

      I just got back fm Best Buy they said they don’t price match clearance items and they called Radio Shack and the said yes they are on clearance. Bummer for me did not get one.

  7. Heidi

    Since everyone else is having luck, I convinced my husband to go into the store and see if he can get the deal! 🙂

    • Megan

      Haha! Husbands are good for that sort of thing.

      • Heidi

        He was able to snag one! Yay for the hubby and a super huge THANK YOU to Collin!

  8. m. mosso

    Found 2 not far from Baltimore! Also was told that some Radio Shacks are having a major tent/clearance event on Saturday!

  9. HAT

    K, are we going to be able to upload all the free books that Collin keeps posting on these things? Or are we going to have to buy more? THanks! New to these!

  10. bababooey1980

    My stores: Online they have it, when I call they don’t. :/

    • Darcey

      Online it said my local store had it too, when I called they had sold the last one this morning and said it takes a while for the system to update. The guy I talked to checked the computer for other local Radio Shacks to see if they had it in stock and a store about 30 minutes away has it and is sending it to my store for no charge. They said it should be here in about 3 days 🙂

  11. Tisha

    Found one @ my local store. Thanks Collin

  12. Stephanie

    called my local store and they have one left and they are holding it for me! he said it is the display model that has never been used or turned on…so maybe that is why they are having 1 per store?

  13. Leah

    Definitely price check. My mom found one at the Nampa, ID store marked $59.97 but rang up $19.97!

    • sue

      Maybe i need to go price check the one at the store.. that is what they told me it was, and the guy was SOOOO rude on the phone when I asked if he would match the price on line…

  14. Jennifer

    I just got the last two! Awesome Christmas shopping already 🙂 thanks Sooooo much!

  15. Jessie

    Does anyone know how long the sale lasts? If you get one can you ask

  16. T

    Just called my local store and they priced checked for me, it rang up @ $19.97, they said they only have 1 and they have it on hold for me to pick up this evening 🙂 Anyone else find it strange that most stores are saying we only have 1?

    • Stephanie

      They are the display models.

      • Georgina

        Fortunately they all are not display models. The one I purchased is still factory sealed with the shrink wrap.

        • Ashley57

          Radio Shacks are normally very small and don’t have a lot of storage space. This is why there is only one.

          • cindy

            Yes, I called 12 stores the most any of them had at one is 3 most had only one in Indiana

        • rebecca

          I got one still sealed in the box for this awesome price!

  17. Kara

    Just called my store and they have it and are holding it until I get off work! Thanks! 🙂

  18. Samanda

    Yay. I got two at my store. They have about 12 of them.

  19. Memoi

    Do these do anything aside from being a black and white reader?

    • samanthahallada

      I was wondering the same thing??

      • Emily

        No, they’re just the ereader, not the tablet.

    • Ashlie

      I was wondering the same thing. Didn’t know if games could be downloaded & played on these or not!

  20. Haseena

    I wish I wanted one of these or knew someone who did, I even have a coupon for Radio Shack for $10 off any $10 purchase.

    • T

      Wish I had a $10 off coupon, then this would be a really sweet deal! Was this in their flyer or sent you? Maybe I should sign up for their emails 🙂

      • Haseena

        I believe it was a print out after purchasing something at the store.

    • Emily

      This would make an awesome dontation for a school, teacher gift, or for your church to loan people that are in the hospital. For $10, you can’t beat that.

      • Haseena

        Great ideas. Thanks

  21. Carrie

    I just called my local store and grabbed the last one they had. When I got there he informed me they had the one with “Glowlight” marked down to $29.97, so I snagged one of those as well.

    • Mrs. Carey

      Me 2 Carrie… Yay my 13 year old just had her bday and times are hard and I couldn’t afford to spend $100 and $19.97 & $29.97 are GREAT thanks Collin you just made my daughters 13th bday memorable 🙂

    • Peaches

      Here in Birmingham, Alabama there seem to be plenty. Apparently no one knows they are on sale! I got the glow light one for $29.97. That just made my day!

  22. MC

    You can call Best Buy and price match! I just called and the representative helped me.

    • Emily

      I’ve been on hold for 10 minutes! I bet by the time I get through, they’ll decide to stop price matching this.

      • Emily

        They wouldn’t do it when I called bestbuy. Even though the local stores said that they had one in stock online, the best buy rep called them and the stores told them they were sold out. Dang. My niece would have loved one of these as a kindergarden graduation gift – keep her reading w/o playing games!

  23. Caro

    I am eReader illiterate. I have a bunch of books loaded to the Kindle reader in my computer. Can they be transferred to this one or another other brand? Thanks!

  24. Mer

    Got 2!! One for me and one for mom for Mother’s Day! Then got a case for $9.99 (regularly $29.99)!

  25. Azariah Bolden

    Does anyone think that maybe Target will honor the price.

    • Casey

      According to stl store they said no, it’s not a competitor.

  26. Alescia

    Scored one in NJ. Going to pick it up in an hour! Whoot-whoot!

  27. Lorna

    Scored one in NYC- thank you soo much!

  28. Tisha

    Does anyone have any $10 off $10 purchase coupon that they won’t be using, if so please email me for a trade. My email address is mstishab22@aol.com

  29. Gwen

    Got one reserved! Thanks Collin! Hubby’s on his way to pick it up:)

  30. JC

    After calling 3 stores, finally found one! Going to make an AWESOME Mother’s Day gift for my mom…thanks for the heads up!

  31. Bridgett

    I did get one and they ordered me more! Great start on Christmas gifts!

  32. Georgina

    I got one too! Thank you soooooo much for acting fast on this Collin! It really allows all of us to score something before it’s gone.

  33. Sharon

    Just got off the phone with Best Buy and they would not honor the price. The guy said Radio Shack is not one of the stores they price match. Darn!

  34. JANE KREBS

    I GOT ONE AT MY LOCAL MALL. I CALLED FIRST, ASKED IF THEY HAD IT AND YES THEY DID . THEN I ASKED IF HE WOULD CHECK THE PRICE TO SEE IF WAS 19.97. HE WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN HE SAID YES IT WAS. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP, HE TOLD ME WHEN HE SAW THE PRICE HE WANTED TO TELL ME HE THEY DIDN’T HAVE ONE (SO HE COULD BUY IT). I’M SURE THAT WOULD BE THE REASON MOST STORES ONLY HAVE ONE. ALSO, WHILE I WAS THERE SOMEONE CALLED LOOKING FOR ONE. OF COURSE, THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY. THANK YOU COLLIN. YOU ROCK.

  35. Derwin

    Got 2 at my local Radio Shack. I also got a discount on the warranty. Also, since the purchase was more than $30.00, I got a coupon for $10.00 off my next purchase.

  36. Kelli

    Got one in NC!! Would have gotten more but they only had one. Didn’t ring up the sale price but they researched their online site and only charged $19.99! So happy! Great mother’s day gift.

  37. Jill F.

    My closest store only had one and hubby is picking it up on the way home for me. The Radio Shack clerk was very nice and super suprised it was ringing up for so cheap. A big bear hug to you Collin! Thanks!

  38. Tiffany

    Yay. I got one too. The store manager was super surprise after I asked him to price check it. He said he’s getting one too. Haha. Thanks Collin 🙂

  39. Claudia

    Just got one at my local radio shack for $19.97 plus I bought a battery charger and spent $33 with tax, they gave me a coupon for $10 off of $10 on my next purchase for spending $30. Sweet deal! Thanks Collin.

    • Claudia

      FYI…the travel battery charger that I bought was not for the nook, it was a clearance item that I found and not at all required to get the nook at the $19.97 price.

  40. Kathie

    Please note. You can only download books from Barnes & Noble, not from Amazon. Don’t know how long Barnes & Noble will be around.

    • Steph

      Really, then I’m going to rethink this deal. They sell this exact same item on Amazon but If you have to only deal with B&N for the books that isn’t so cool.

    • Sara

      Libraries use the format as well, so even if they go belly up you’ll be okay until someone else buys the tech.

    • Tiffany L

      I’ve read that you can download the kindle app on it so you can download kindle books

  41. cynthia

    Called my store in Colorado and they held it for me, but when I went into the store she told me I had to purchase the charger to get the $19.99 price. After some back and forth, I got it for $19.99 without the charger. Thank you!

  42. kim

    I got the first and the last one at dekalb store. thanks a lot!!!

  43. Sam

    No car, wasted an hour calling and I wish I had known about this a day ago, oh well. 🙁

  44. Ann

    Got one! also my local public libraries use these, so I can download books for 3 weeks for free.

  45. Sara

    Picking mine up this weekend! Thank you!!!!

  46. Laura

    Yeah! Got 2–1 from each of the two stores closest to me. Will use them both as gifts.

  47. Anna

    My Radio Shack only had one, a d it was $20! Awesome! Thanks Collin!

  48. harlow

    all i can say is OMG this is the deal i been waiting for all my life.—- THANK U so much collin. i got one for 21 something with tax—- it doesnt come with the wall charger only computer usb charger.—- and it has wifi but dont know if i can check my email from it or not.

    • Emily

      If you have a 5Below near you, they have the wall charger that’s also a USB. It comes in two places – so you plug the USB part into the wall charger and then plug it in. I have them for my cell phone and they also have the same type of usb end piece for car chargers. They’re $5 but I’ve been happy with them!

  49. Nicole

    Thanks I just picked mine up!

  50. Ashley57

    Yay! I got two at two different stores in the area. Thanks!
