Prices have fallen enough on ebook readers that you don’t need to wait for Black Friday to get an ereader for under $100, but you can find good deals on Kindles and Nooks at after Thanksgiving sales and on Cyber Monday, which is November 28, 2011.
Amazon Kindles will be $79, but Radio Shack and Staples are offering gift cards with the purchase of a Kindle. Amazon started selling the large Kindle DX 3G for $259, which is a good discount. You can also use the coupon code WLG2FB7X to get $10 off $100 on electronics as long as you pay for your order with a mastercard.

The best 3G Kindle deal will be at Target on Black Friday morning, when they will sell the Kindle Keyboard 3G (formerly known as Kindle 3) for $85.
Barnes and Noble Nooks will also be discounted this shopping season. Best Buy is selling the Nook Simple Touch for $79 with free shipping online, and that price matches Amazon’s cheapest Kindle. Barnes and Noble will be matching that price in stores on Black Friday. Barnes and Noble is offering shoppers a free $10 Barnes & Noble gift card with every $100 purchase, so that can help with the price of a Nook and some accessories, a Nook color, or a Nook Tablet.
