Barnes & Noble has made a permanent price cut to its popular Nook Simple Touch e-reader.
The e-reader will sell for $79 now, matching its Black Friday pricing last year,
Nook Simple Touch was the first major consumer e-reader to be fully touchscreen, beating out the Kindle. The company sells an upgraded version, with Glowlight backlighting for nighttime and dim light reading, for $119.
As of now, Amazon sells its base model Kindle (without touch) for $69 so the e-reader war is getting even more competitive.
The price change goes permanent starting tomorrow.
