Nook are clearly trying to revitalise their product offerings, perhaps clearing out old inventory? They're currently selling the nook simple touch for £29 here in the UK... which is an absurd price for an 800 MHz TI OMAP 3621 with e-ink display, RAM / Storage, WIFI, Battery etc. It may be based on an ancient Android 2.1/Linux 2.6.29 but £29 is an insane bargain. Get root and a shell on it and you've got a great piece for general use kit for next to no money.
