Barnes & Noble said today that its Nook Simple Touch e-reader will be available for $79 on Black Friday, or $20 off.
The discounted device will be available only in Barnes & Noble book stores on Nov. 25 while supplies last and will feature a new white border.
The revamped, $99 Simple Touch made its debut earlier this month at a press event that also included the release of the Nook Tablet. The device added a new and improved e-ink display, which includes 25 percent faster page turns at 450 milliseconds, and Barnes & Noble said Simple Touch users can expect two months of reading on a single charge.
Taking a dig at Amazon's Special Offers ad-supported program, Barnes & Noble said the Simple Touch comes "without distracting ads."
Barnes & Noble also promised up to 44 percent off Nook accessories online, as well as some in-store discounts on Black Friday, including: a free Clear Screen Film Kit with purchase of a Nook Color; Nook Tablet Power Kit for $24.95; and a free Nook Simple Touch power adapter with the purchase of a Lyra Light for $14.95.
Shoppers can also get 50 percent off any one toy or game in stores and find select discounts online. That includes LEGO, LeapFrog, Melissa & Doug, and more.
Barnes & Noble will also offer up to 50 percent off select DVDs and Blu-ray movies in stores.
Shoppers can also snag a 30 percent off coupon for use online, starting today and running until Sunday or in stores between Nov. 25 and Nov. 27. Those who buy a $100 gift card, meanwhile, will get an extra $10 gift card as a bonus.
