Check it out! You can get a free Nook (basic model) or a Nook Color for half price ($99 instead of $199) if you subscribe to the digital version of the New York Times (NYT) for a year. Now, granted, the subscription to the New York Times is $19.99 a month, making your free Nook actually cost $239.88, but given that a monthly digital subscription to the New York Times is $20 per month anyways, you are still getting one for $20.00 a month, and the other for free.
Or, that said, you can get the New York Times on your Kindle Fire, for only $19.98 per month as well.
And the Kindle Fire is available for $199 on Amazon – yes, it’s $99 more than the deal on the Nook Color, but it’s a heck of a machine.
So, you can get the Kindle Fire for $199, or Nook Color deal for $99, or the Nook Basic for free – and regardless you can have the NYT subscription for about $20.00 per month.
