I can go to a pawn shop and get one for $80.
Picked up one for my daughter two days ago, it's in perfect condition.
I would advise to check local pawn shops as people need money for the holidays.
Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and bought one. It solved my problem of keeping my Kindle Fire vs. returning it for a Nook Tablet. Now I case use the Nook Color with its greater memory for video playback and use the Kindle Fire for everything else, including the pure consumption of Amazon kool-aid.
I'm not comfortable yet with the Nook Tablet and the potential for Barnes & Noble to lock things down with an unavoidable OTA. Maybe in two to three months.
well... ordered mine 10sec ago
Not shipping to Canada... sigh
they also don't ship to Israel... not that i stopped me, use 3rd party to ship it to Canada
How did you manage that? I don't use eBay that often
Missed the $119 but picked up 2 today at $129 for the kids.
May regret not getting a 3rd one for ME... LoL
Now on to learning the triple boot / boot menu tricks for this one.
Just when I got my I777 phone sorted here comes another toy (er.. tool) to research.
Has B and N updated any with shipping info. At order, it said it would arrive within 3-5 days. I'm on the 3rd business day and it still has not been marked as shipped on the ebay summary.
Anyone else or has anyone recievd their order?

Purchased mine Saturday AM, got email yesterday (Wednesday) that it had shipped. No tracking number so, do not know when it will arrive. Hopefully soon!
Oh boy, spent 20 minutes on hold this morning trying to get through to B&N cust service. Then called on my break, spending my whole break on the phone. The rep couldn't find any info for me or refund my money. This is my first experience with B&N, are things generally difficult with them?
As I'm typing this I got an ebay message from B&N saying there has been a warehouse issue and they are shipping it at the fast method possible at no cost. They will email me tracking info once it ships. Fair enough.
This is my first tablet and I've been scouring this forum since the second I ordered it. Can't wait to root and install CM7 but none of the instructions say step one is getting the Nook
Yeah, this is my first tablet also, can't wait to get cm 7 on it! I have cm 7 on my Atrix and it's great!

It sounds as if ordering through Ebay is not as in synch with their normal supply chain as ordering through their website.
When I have ordered through their website the experience was more seamless.
I ordered one black Friday, received it today. It took maybe 15 minutes to get CM up and running for me. Loving it so far...best $119 I've spent in a while.

Mine arrive in excellent condition.
Took me a while to get CM7 installed...until thanks to this forum i realized I didn't have the latest CWM.
Should be a nice compliment to my Samsung Infuse 4g.
I'll be very happy with it.
Well worth $120
Hi all! Ordered mine the Saturday after thanksgiving, came in yesterday, running CM7 off the SD card, and am very pleased. Be sure to get a Sandisk class 4 card if running the OS off of it, there's a thread here on XDA about them and when I tested my new Sandisk 16G class 4 was many times faster at small block than my class 10 4G I bought a while back. Woohoo!
Looks like they are up to $150 now. Still not a bad deal.

Hi mine also arrived yesterday, too. I would like to install CM7 rom. However I tried many ways to create boot SD card (and try on both 16GB and 4GB). I checked each SD card and they both contained 4 correct files (mlo, u-boot.bin, ulmage, uRamdisk)....
After I inserted the SD card and turned it on....it always directly boot from the BN default OS.....can't boot from the SD card. It can read these SD cards and generate some directories (My files, B&N Downloads, LOST.DIR) on it. Does it lock bootable SD card?
Would you guys show me how to set up NC to boot from SD card?
I got my $119 refurb Nook Color on Monday and had no problems getting CM7 onto the nook... so I don't think anyone locked the ability for the Nook to boot from SD.
Did you follow these instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
If you can see those 4 files, it looks like winimage did its job. Did you then download a CM7 rom zip file from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore and place it onto the SD card as well?

Hey guys,
First off, are you happy with your NC?
This would mainly be used as a reader/web browser/app games for the wife, so I'm thinking she would really enjoy it.
Also, what's the best place to grab a NC? I haven't seen them less than $249.
Thanks!!!
I just got one from bestbuy. Its still $250 but you get a $25 gift card too.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Barnes+...1218266244893&skuId=1517163&st=nook&cp=1&lp=1
You likely won't find them any less expensive than $249 at any legitimate retailer or etailer. Perhaps there will be another BN eBay special like last month some time in the future ($200ish). The suggestion that yurkinator made is probably going to be the best legitimate deal currently going (as long as you can stomach shopping at BestBuy).
Beyond that, I wouldn't buy one from an average eBayer or via Craigslist. It's just too sketchy... You have no idea what the history is with the unit and if it has any latent flaws. If you get it privately, warranty repairs will be more of a hassle since you won't have the original receipt. I bought my first one from Wally World; the microSD slot wouldn't retain the card. Took it right back to Wally World, got a refund. Bought a new one. No fuss, no muss...
Is saving, say, $50 worth the potential headaches?
Thanks for the responses and I completely agree with you about not buying one off craigslist or ebay. I'm going to jump on best buy deal since I can't find any staples coupons.
Can't wait to tear into this thing!

I got lucky and B&N was having a promotional sale on ebay about 2 months ago and I got 2 NC for 200 bucks each. I would keep an eye out they may do it again.
Since no one else mentioned it I'll toss out that my girlfriend loves her NookColor. I initially bought it so I'd have something to play around with and she'd have something to read on from time to time. After about a week it became clear that she was never actually going to let the thing out of her grasp and so I was forced to buy my own. Not sure if this helps but I have my girlfriend's running the stock OS and nootered while mine is running CM7. Since she does read allot she likes the tight integration of the Barnes and Nobel stuff on her home screen but can't imagine a world without Fruit Ninja, Bubble Buster or any of the Angry Birds.
I'll put in a plug here for buying it in a Barnes & Noble store. That's what I did, and the biggest reason was that if I had any issues I wanted to be able to walk into the store and resolve them. If I were going to buy at Best Buy (something of a circus at the least) I'd make sure I could do a warranty exchange at a B&N brick and mortar store. I also did something I don't normally do and bought the B&N extended warranty -- which covers the thing even if you drop it into the tub. Oh yeah, I love the thing -- got stock 1.2 and CM7 overclocked running off a SD card. Use it with a bluetooth portable keyboard and Documents to Go -- and I've read a ton of books on it.
Appreciate all the responses.
It's going to be mainly my wife's device to read, browse, game on, so as much as I want to get into it and throw CM7 + Honeycomb on it, I might wait a bit to see how she uses it.
I'm going to pick it up this afternoon and give it to her tomorrow as her b-day present.

Y'know, you make an excellent point. If you're going to pay full retail anyway, why not just go to the source for the reason you mention.
Personally, I went to Wally World because I bought during the early February nook drought. Nowhere in the greater South Bay Area (CA) had these in stock except for one WalMart in Salinas, CA.

Bought two from the mother ship, about three months apart after getting my wife one for Christmas and nootering it, I needed one for me!). For hers, I bought the B&N warranty, but for mine, I went with squaretrade. $50 for 2 years vs, $40 for 3 years.
Am sure there are many happy Nook Colour owners who live north of the 49th Parallel. I am about to have my cousin (who lives in the States) order a refurb Nook Colour, have it shipped to a Receiving centre in Lewiston (NY), and my brother will pick it up. Sounds like a lot of work, but yes, that is what I have to resort to since Buy.com wouldn't take my Canadian registered PayPal account, and Cdn Credit card.
My questions are:
- Would I be able able to register my Nook with B&N when I first started it up ?
- What do you do if you want to register at B&N website (to purchase books) w/o a US Credit card ?
Can fellow Canucks share their ownership experiences ?
Thanks, eh!
I'm canadian but initially installed honeycomb and now cm7 n150 firmware - never even booted into stock...
bought mine on ebay 200 sale and think its my best purchase of the year...

@vn33,
I've been able to register an account and purchase an ebook from B&N.
It appeared in my nook color once I registered it to my account.
I registered first through B&N.
I used a real e-mail address and my credit card number (visa).
For primary shipping address, I used the address of the closest B&N store to me.
I selected the closest US city (Niagara Falls) and plugged that into the B&N store locator.
Even though the address didn't match my Visa I was able to purchase an ebook and the charge appeared on my statement so I don't believe they check.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the info above, nolook & bmss ...
Are you running stock or CM7 ?
If you do run CM7, did are you running the Nook App from Market ?
Did you managed to purchase magazine ?
Thanks again !
@vn33,
I'm running stock off internal memory.
I haven't bought any magazines.
I've tried the dual boot phiremod/honeycomb rom off of microsd but getting a lot of force closes with all my existing cards. I really like phiremod 6.3 though.
I'm still having trouble finding a good microsd with random 4k write speeds.
The nook app can't be found in my version of the market. I think it has to do with a Canadian IP address. This hasn't prevented me from downloading books with the stock rom. I haven't tried any tweaks to install the .apk that I found on the web or tried unlocking the market yet. Not until I have a microsd that can run phiremod with stability.
I think BN wouldn't sell the hardware in Canada, but if you get your hand on one, then once registered the device with a google a/c (you could put in the credit # during the device registration, or after you registered, then use a regular PC browser to add the # online), and you are good to go. After all, BN cares only your credit card, not where are you from. There could be some copyright issue for them, but I am sure they just close their eyes.
As other posters mentioned, the NC is a very good device, I also bought from refurbished on ebay for $250 (shipping inclusive) and you don't pay the GST and PST.

I would not buy the HP (even if it is only $99) unless there are mod that could convert it into an Android. Since HP is going to abandone it, there will be no support or anyone writing app for it (it is based on an obscure WebOS), so the only use you have is web browsing.

Went down to Virginia in July and our first stop was the first B&N along our route near Erie, PA. I bought it from the store and rooted it that evening at the hotel. (Already had everything ready to go). I noticed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen and had to unroot it and brought it to the next B&N store along our route and exchanged it for one that was perfect.
I ended up getting the Nook app on my Nook (ironic) and set it up using a gmail account and everything was good.
Mine has worked perfectly since I got it last december. Living in Vancouver, Canada. Never used the B&N service though, so not sure how that works.
Registration and everything for the first time setup was a breeze though.
I am interested in the new Nook Tablet, but I believe it won't ship to Canada either. How did you guys buy your Nook (apart from going to the US?). Have you ever tried a service like MYUS? How can I get a Nook Tablet for relatively the same price as it is sold in the US?
Unless you're willing to cross the border and pick it up or have an Amerifriend willing to ship it to you, you will have to pay a premium to get it in Canada.
shopereaders dot com is one option although I have never used their services. myus dot com is another option.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with it if you have to pay a premium. I like my Nook Color but not enough to pay the "Canada surcharge". There are other options available in Canada like the Kobo Vox, which has almost identical specs but is affordable and available locally. That's an important consideration in case you have to return it or get warranty service.
Daily Steals has Nook Color for $134.99 + $4.99 shipping. I have not purchased
from them but the cheapest I have seen for the Nook Color.
You beat me to it!
I had posted this a little bit ago in the "members found deals" of the market place.
I've ordered from dailysteals before with no issues!!
The link is http://www.dailysteals.com/?utm_sou...1_Tuesday_5_Deals_10_17_2011&utm_medium=email
I thought i was going to break the news... maybe next time.
Yep, the time to sell my NC was 2 months ago
Beat me too. Got my 3rd from them 2 weeks ago for $149! Took my son to B and N to get a gel case.. still $250. Amazing. She did hint that there would be a price change in a few weeks.
This nook color offer says "90 day warranty". The one I ordered 2 weeks ago from steals said "1 year warranty". Why the change or just a misprint?
B and N brought down the refurb ones on EBay to 149$ free shipping...
Daily steals says:
What You Get:
Barnes & Noble NOOK Color
Factory Refurbished
1 Year Warranty
Ridiculously good deal. Almost as good as the BlackBerry Playbook I got for $100 last week lol.
For that price, I'm tempted to get a second nook.

Playbook? Where from?
Stay away from DailySteals!!!
I ordered a NC on Sept 30.
Oct 6 showed a UPS tracking number.
No updates since then.
Last communication (after several e-mails) I had was on Sunday Oct 16 that they were "looking into it".
Nada since then. They don't answer their phones. E-mails get an auto response claiming they will respond within 1-2 business days, then nothing. Absolutely the WORST customer "service" I have ever encountered!
i bought one from them a week ago for 167 crap...
Yeah, dailysteals shipping is ridiculously slow, took like 2.5 weeks to receive mine. And you can't cancel it once it ships.
Not exactly a daily steals fanboy, but I bought my NC from them. It took a couple of weeks to get it...but no drama. Rooted it with CM7 and 15 minutes later...good to go. Had to alter the build.prop for Netflix. Everything good so far.

They *finally* admitted that mine was "lost in transit" and will refund my money.
I got my wife and I's last night. I have her running CM7 off of microSD card, and I installed to internal memory. Everything went smoothly and the performance of both is great. Both overclocked to 1.2 Ghz.
Got in on the deal, received mine last evening... haven't had time to hack it properly yet, but guess what's going to happen when I get home tonight?
And yes, they took 8 days to ship, and it was another 4 or so in transit.
DailySteals is a bloody nightmare. Took forever to ship, and then to the wrong
address (not even the right state).
They do not answer their emails unless you start a paypal claim which I have, since
it has been over 2 weeks, and there is no chance I will ever receive it.
After all the hassle with Daily Steals (they actually *did* process the refund), I finally got around to ordering one for $139 with free shipping from buy.com. Ordered yesterday; UPS tracking shows delivery tomorrow.
Buy.com has them for $139 and free shipping

Hi guys. Missed the Barnes and Nobel deal so now I am looking around for the best deals, so I thought I would stop here and ask. I need one for my daughter for Christmas. Either a color nook or nook tablet. Looking to root it as well through the sd card because I want to keep the stock B&N software for my daughter to buy and read books. Any input is welcome as to where I can get either one for a great deal and which one to get. Thanks!
I bought 2 refurbished for the kids for $119 each from here last week. It changed to $129 now. I don't know if the price fluctuates or not.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOOK-Color-...719205?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item45feb06fa5#rwid
It appears to be B&N's own ebay site.
Item location: B&N Warehouse, United States
I can't be sure what the warranty is but it should be 1 year like the one from their site.
Yes, that auction ended, then went from $129 to $149 and that ended and I cant find another auction listed under the Barnes and Nobel store anymore.......
For the price comparison between the two, I am wondering if I would be better to go with the tablet? I am sure that it will be rooted very soon! looking for input!

Locked boot loader makes it basicly SOL for custom roms.

B&N's own site still has the $149 refurb deal here. Not as good as $119, but at least its still available
So what would you guys get? If they get past the bootloader problem, which I am sure they will, the only other advantage to the tablet besides the speed is the built in "mic" which later on could be used to talk while using the keyboard similar to the way a cell phone works? Just trying to weigh my options!
Honestly, I would go ahead and get the nook color (not tablet). And think about putting a rom on the emmc (internal drive). That way she can read books from Barnes and Noble on the nook app, as well as books on the kindle app, Sony reader app and Google books. I also check out books from my local library.
I guess you can also do this running the rom from the SD card, but having done it both ways myself, I would go for putting the rom on the nook itself. Rom runs much better.
Apps are much cheaper from the Google market than from the B&N market.
I don't know how much function a mic will give, but I text from my nook using Google voice.
Check out Craigslist as another option. My sister just got a great deal on a nook with leather cover that was barely touched. Still had the box, etc.

$150 now
While this ain't exactly Nook Color related, if you aim for a cheap tablet and don't care about the 1024x600 Resolution the Nooks have...
Go for a Aino Novo 7, it's 100$ and overall might be the better choice for your daughter as it packs a whole bunch more than the Nook.
Its biggest downside being tough to find protective covers and the 800x480 resolution.
I have purchased two refurbished Nook Colors from B&N's Ebay site and they have both been perfect. Now my son wants one. There are some other sellers on Ebay selling refurb units. Are these the same as getting them from B&N? Has anyone had problems with any of the refurb units? A seller with the name NextWorth has them right now for $99.
I picked up a 3rd party refurb of the Nook Tablet without any issues. Just make sure you read the posting carefully to see exactly what they are selling you. Also make sure they have a good return policy and you should be ok.

'B&N via Ebay' was selling the 8GB Nook Tablets for $150 a few days ago.
In my opinion that is a better buy than a refurb Nook Color.
You get a dual-core processor plus the std. warranty.
Keep a lookout on SD and you will get lucky soon.
Here's the thread:
http://slickdeals.net/f/4490902-Brand-new-Barnes-noble-nook-tablet-149-FS
I couldn't look at the listing from NextWorth at work. Now that I have seen it, I see that this is seller refurbished. I think I definitely would prefer to get something that is manufacturer refurbished. There are some listings for $126 on Ebay, or I could get one at the local Microcenter for $135 if my son can't wait.
I just saw the post yesterday about the Nook Tablets for $149 and was going to go that route but they are no longer available. Again, it just depends on if he wants to wait longer to see if they become available again. We are going on a trip next month and he wants to have it by then.
I just bought 8 Nook Colors from Cowboom (all 7s) for $99.99 each and put CM7 RC2 on them, but they were for coworkers of my Wife and I. The $149 Tablet deal is where it is at, but these people wanted an Android tablet with an 8gb Micro SDHC and a TPU case for around $120.
Wow, 8 Nook Colors! You must really be spreading the word. I'm assuming you didn't have any problems with any of the ones you got from Cowboom. I had never heard of Cowboom before, it looks like an interesting site and appears to be somehow affiliated with Best Buy. I didn't know what you meant by the all 7's comment, but that appears to be a rating number on their site. Looks like the higher the number the better. I only saw 1 8, but it didn't come with a charger or cable to that would be a deal killer. I might see if my son wants to go this route if no other sales pop up this weekend. The tablet for $149 would be sweet but I am not holding my breath on that one showing up again soon. What are the TPU cases you mentioned? I would love to find a decent case with a multi position stand that does not cover up the speaker. I'm currently just using one of those rubber things that slips on it.

Give one of your NCs to him and you upgrade to the NT in the next sale.

Here are the cases I bought, unfortunately they are rubbery too:
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-Skins-Screen-Protector-Barnes/dp/B0057AV55C/ref=pd_cp_e_1
Description says red but one is purple like the picture shows.
They are $99 again for the "returned" Nook Color on Cowboom
All 8 were fine. I put Mr.g666's CM7 RC2 on all of them, used the free LCD Resolution app to set the DPI to 220, overclocked to 1200mhz, and have had no complaints. So far I have probably put Android on 15+ of these. Everyone my Wife or I have shown it to wants one once they see it. I would look for a condition 7 with the charger. Some came in the original box, some didn't. You get 30 days from Cowboom but I think if you had a problem with it and asked real nice B&N would replace or repair it for you within a year of registering because they rely on you buying books and games (my opinion).
Office Depot has nook tablets for 199 with a 50 dollar visa gift card on sunday.
Picked up the tablet today and the Visa gift card is given in the store. Did not have to mail anything in to get it, but you do have to pay $4.95 to activate the stupid thing. Running CM7 from microSD and it seems to be working pretty well. If I reboot it, it boots into Nook mode. If I shut down, then power on, it boots from the microSD.

Can somebody confirm that we're able to run CM7 off uSD on the Nook Tablet?
Last time (last 2 months) I checked, can't just run off uSD on the NT.
Maybe I'm way behind!

I haven't tried anything else besides the CM7 off of uSD. This is my Son's tablet so I'm not playing around with it too much. I still haven't had the confidence to flash CM7 to my Nook Color's eMMC, plus it seems to run perfectly off of the uSD card so I've seen no reason to. As far as the tablet and CM9, I thought I read that hardware acceleration is not working on it yet so not really interested in trying that until development gets further along.

Two different devices.

I was talking about both. I have 2 Nook Color's, and my son has the 8GB tablet. All of them are running CM7 off of the uSD cards and have stock firmware on the emmc.
