Get $100 off your Android tablet if you purchase at Staples [DEALS]

http://androinica.com/2011/07/android-tablet-coupon/In the market for a new Android tablet? There are plenty in stores sitting on the shelves, waiting for a decent person to bring them to a good home.
You can actually save $100 on a new tablet if you head to your local Staples. A special in-store coupon will take $100 off the purchase price for any tablet other than the HP Touchpad, Amazon Kindle, and Barnes & Noble Nook. The coupon is valid until July 30, 2011, so it might be a good idea to print it and visit Staples to see if there are any decent Android tablets on hand.
The coupon can be printed here and has some legalese exclusions that you should read over, including the statement that models vary by store. You may discover that the tablet you had your eye on is not available at a particular location. Should that happen, here’s a quick rundown of the Android tablets that Staples offers.
