    There’s a new Nook in town and it’s great. But that doesn’t mean the old one is now suddenly any less great than it once was, which makes this daily deal quite nice. For only $79, you can snag a refurbished 3G Nook. That’s $90 less than it’s recently lowered price. Sure, it’s not a true touchscreen (fine by me) and it doesn’t have a new e-ink screen or a super battery life, but the original Nook was and still is a great ereader.
