Our Today’s Special Value bundle is a great time to get NOOK—the world’s best reading experience and so much more from Barnes & Noble. With both NOOK Color and NOOK Simple Touch available together at an irresistible value, it’s the perfect time to get your hands on the full NOOK experience! NOOK Simple Touch gets rave reviews from experts as The Best E Ink Reader—ideal for relaxing with a great book, anytime, anywhere. Just slip it into your purse or pocket and you’ve got the world’s largest bookstore at your fingertips. With NOOK Color, you can read books, magazines, newspapers, and kids books in stunning color—plus get essential tablet features so you can stay in touch with email, surf the web, and have fun with apps, games, music, tv shows, and movies.


This bundle is a great way to kick off the new year and start working on those resolutions. With access to over 2.5 million books, there’s certainly a title (or a dozen!) that will help you reach that “must read more” goal you’ve set for yourself in 2012.


NOOK Color offers something for everyone in your family. Beyond a world of books to browse, get stunning full-color magazines and favorite newspapers delivered to you the moment they’re released (single issues or subscriptions). And you’ll be amazed at how great they look on the world’s most advanced VividView 7" touchscreen. We have the largest digital collection of best-selling magazines, so you’re sure to find the perfect issue, whether you’re looking to get fit, cook more at home, or be more adventurous in 2012. You can try any magazine or newspaper free for 14 days, and the 33 magazines that come with today’s bundle (such as Shape, Saveur, and National Geographic Traveler) are a great start. If you have young kids in the house, they’ll immediately fall in love with our NOOK Kids books. Only NOOK has Read and Play™ interactive books with games and activities built right into the stories, and Read To Me books with enchanting narrations.


If having more fun, getting organized, and staying in touch with loved ones are on your to-do list this year, the NOOK Color is for you. Tablet essentials like email and web with video are at your fingertips, letting you connect with friends and family (and watch all of those goofy videos they’re always sending). You’ll also have access to Netflix, Rhapsody, and other must-have entertainment services. Plus, Pandora comes pre-loaded, and there’s even a built-in music player to enjoy your own tunes. 


And talk about fun! With access to thousands of must-have apps like Angry Birds and Scrabble, we’ve got you covered. (Your doctor’s office waiting room will never look the same again as long as you brought your NOOK Color along). In fact, this bundle includes 19 apps. Gamers will enjoy Astraware Sudoku and PBA Bowling; movie buffs will love having Flixster at their fingertips; and helpful organizational apps like Epicurious Recipes and Shopping List are invaluable time-savers.


With all of those great features, don’t blame us if your NOOK Color goes missing while you’re in the middle of a great book. Your whole family will be clamoring for their turn to enjoy all of the entertainment options. That’s why this bundle offer includes a NOOK Simple Touch as well. Take your new NOOK Simple Touch and relax with a great book. It’s a must-have for readers since it’s the fastest, easiest-to-use reader with the world’s best reading screen! Shop over 2.5 million books with a touch and enjoy reading on the new breakthrough E Ink display. So clear and easy to read, it’s just like paper, even in bright sunlight. Plus with Best-Text, the words are ultra-crisp and you can easily adjust the font size and style. You really do lose yourself in your latest read with NOOK Simple Touch. Pages turn seamlessly and you can download new books instantly via Wi-Fi (usually in under 10 seconds!). If you’re an avid reader, you’ll love the fact that you can carry up to a thousand books with you on the NOOK Simple Touch, yet it’s ultra-light and ultra-portable! Amazing. Plus, if you’re planning a mid-winter getaway, you’ll be glad to know that it has extra long battery life, so you can stay unplugged longer when on the go.


Rest assured, you don’t need to be a gadget pro to use NOOK Simple Touch. The 6” touchscreen is incredibly easy to use, and its intuitive design lets you do everything with a simple touch.


We know you’ll want to take your NOOK Simple Touch with you everywhere. That’s why this bundle includes an industrial cover. Get the NOOK LOOK with this sleek carbon-colored cover that combines style, fashion, and function, with important features like a smooth industrial polyurethane that protects your NOOK, and a bar-clip mechanism engineered to keep it secure while allowing easy access to the charging port and control buttons. This bundle has everything you need to enjoy your NOOK Simple Touch right away.


Should you have questions, count on our free in-store support at any Barnes & Noble location for help, tips, and troubleshooting from our resident NOOK experts. And if you can’t get to a store, there’s free online chat, online resources, Twitter, and phone support available as well!
