Buy a Barnes & Noble Nook HD+, get a free Nook Simple Touch

Through March 31, Barnes & Noble is offering a two-for-one deal on a couple of its electronics devices: Purchase a Nook HD+ tablet (starting at $270), and B&N will throw in at no charge a Nook Simple Touch e-book reader, normally $80.

You can take advantage of the deal at Barnes & Noble retail and college bookstores, online, and retailers Walmart, Best Buy, and Target.

The Nook HD+ is a recommended 9-inch tablet in our tablet Ratings; it has an excellent display, though a limited software selection and no camera. The Simple Touch is a CR Best Buy and ranks among the best e-book readers we've tested for readability.
