Here's the link to the Nook sale. 8 gb is fine if you want to use it as a reader, you can put all your favorite reading apps on it and as many books as you want (it has an SD card slot) and the resolution is fantastic.

My husband is enjoying his Nook HD.  We use an SD card and he downloads movies and old TV shows (free app - "Free Movies, Tv & Cartoons Pro") and watches them on plane rides.  Works great!

It's still on today on 1sale if you missed it yesterday.

I love my Nook HD as well, I find 8gb to be plenty for books and apps.

A whole bunch of Kindles are on sale at Amazon today. New Fires and the Paperwhite (presumably with 4 GB storage).

I hate announcement primers like that.  I don't think I've seen one yet where the hype matched the actual whatever.

But yes, I can't help but be curious.

Ah well, no device announcement. Just something about Oprah.
