It seems that the season of reducing prices is ripe. Customers in the UK looking to add a new eReader to their family have enough reason to pick up the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight from Barnes & Nobles as of today.

The book-friendly company offers the backlit eBook reader at the affordable price of £49 / $87 / €58, making it a very attractive purchase for the Christmas season to come.

Managing Director Barnes & Nobles Jim Hilt draws attention on the Nook's capabilities, “No other eReader in the UK anywhere near this price has an integrated light, sits comfortably and lightly in the hand and has a battery that will last up to two months.”

“It's an unbeatable value for one of our best-loved and most highly acclaimed products, marking now the perfect time to choose an eReader for yourself or for your favorite reader as an early Christmas present.”

So if you're looking to purchase a thin and light eBook reader that offers access to over 2.5 million, books, newspapers and magazine, this is the perfect time to do so. Battery life is long and a host of LEDs placed at the top of the device shine on the screen, making it possible to read anytime.

It’s certainly a deal worth looking into.
