Father's Day has come and gone, but if you missed out on Barnes & Noble's special promotion, fear not, as the company has extended the sale on its NOOK tablets.
Barnes & Noble is offering the NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ at reduced prices, shaving off up to $120 from the original price as part of its extended Father's Day promotion.
"With the fantastic success of our Father's Day promotion, we decided to extend the great prices on NOOK HD and NOOK HD+ to help our customers gear up for a great summer reading season," said Jamie Iannone, President of NOOK Media per the press release. "In our stores and online, customers have embraced these beautifully designed, lightweight devices with stunning displays that offer great reading and entertainment content. We're thrilled to keep in place our best prices ever and deliver great value to make reading more affordable."
The Barnes & Noble offer is for a limited period only and no specific end date has been given. Those interested can purchase the 8GB version of the 7-inch NOOK HD for $129 (instead of $199), whereas the 16GB variant will cost you $149 (instead of $229). If the 9-inch NOOK HD+ is more up your alley, then the 16GB version will cost you $149 instead of the usual $269, whereas the 32GB version is priced at $179, instead of the $299.
Rumors are rife that the discounted prices for the NOOK tablets is allegedly linked to the fact that Barnes & Noble, considered the "leading retailer of content, digital media and educational products" may pull back on hardware and instead sell content to other companies' devices and eventually exit the tablet space.
However, another school of thought believes that Barnes & Noble is clearing out its existing inventory to make way for a new model.
