Nook Not Shipped by Christmas? [Barnes & Noble Rewards You with $100 in Case of nook Shipping Delays]

Tweet

It’s not all good news for those of you that have already ordered up a nook thinking it will arrive just in time to neatly place it under the Christmas tree. In fact it looks like some people won’t get the nook even if they were supposed to receive it by December 24.

The nook seems to be a great eReader and it will definitely fight well against the Kindle but I’m sure people will not appreciate all these shipping delays coming from Barnes & Noble. Fortunately for everyone that pre-ordered the nook as a gift, Barnes & Noble thought of a way to reward their patience.

Everyone waiting for a nook by December 24 and not getting one will receive a $100 gift card from Barnes & Noble. That’s not a bad way to say “I’m sorry!”, isn’t it? At this point I bet there are a few people hoping to have their nook delayed for a few days in order to receive the complimentary $100 gift card.

On top of that $100 gift card you will also have your nook shipped overnight which means you will receive it by December 29 at the latest. And in case your nook is coming late this Christmas then you’ll end up buying it for around $159 which makes it one of the cheapest readers in town.

Those of you that haven’t been able to order a nook yet and are relying on Amazon for their last minute eReader gifts should know that the Kindle DX is out of stock. The Kindle DX now has an estimated shipping date of 4 to 6 weeks according to Amazon so you’re really out of luck. Maybe the regular Kindle should be still available, but who wants that reader nowadays when other alternatives are available?
