Customers who pre-ordered Nook from Barnes & Noble will get an online $100 gift certificate if their readers don’t arrive by December 24.

This was announced by Barnes & Noble Inc. recently to compensate for the possible late arrival of deliveries. The Nook is currently being sold for $259 but is already sold out for the holidays.

The Nook, announced late October, is being positioned as a competition to Amazon’s Kindle. New orders for The Nook won’t ship until February 1.
