And since tablet computers and e-readers are guaranteed to be of interest to many shoppers, The Christian Post prepared a wrap-up brief on which stores will offer some of the best deals on these devices.

Best Buy, the electronics giant, promises to slash prices on Dell Streak 7-inch Tablet with Android Honeycomb OS, although the exact price is yet to be announced. Apple iPad 2 tablets will be on sale too, but the terms are not yet known either. Alternatively, there is also the Toshiba Thrive 10.1-inch screen tablet for $279.99. Barnes & Noble's NOOK will be available for $79.99, as opposed to the usual $99.99.

Staples will host tablet sales starting at $199 on Nov. 25. One of the best Black Friday deals at Staples is also the Blackberry Playbook tablet for only $199.
