DCUSA.Gallery10.TargetBlackFriday.WikipediaI have already covered the Amazon and Barnes and Noble holiday sales in previous entries. (Amazon has added 40 free apps for this weekend.)Here are some links

Nathan from The Ebook Reader has done some nice roundups of the other sales:

At the Kobo Store:  Deals include a Kobo Aura for $99 and up to 75% off bestselling books.

At the O’Reilly Store: Deals include 50% off ebooks and videos.

At Google: Deals include 75% off popular e-books (and Amazon is price-matching!).

And for the online traffic report: Best Buy’s website was down this morning when I checked (more details here). Walmart.com and NewEgg were running a bit slow for me this morning. And it’s not even Cyber Monday yet! Happy shopping!

Have you seen anything on line today that you just couldn’t resist?
