A number of MobileReaders have noticed that prices seem to be dropping on Readers around the web. igorsk reported that ABT Electronics has reduced their prices, induna pointed out that Fry's Electronics has also dropped.

After some poking around, I found that Best Buy is currently offering a $50 "instant rebate" on the Reader. and a quick survey of other sites revealed that J&R Music and Computer World, and CompUSA, are apparently doing something similar. What started out looking like one retailer bucking the trend, is looking more like an actual price drop!

However, since the $50 drop is specifically presented as a "rebate" by some of the retailers, it seems likely that it may be a temporary thing. But pile it up with the "$149" ConnStore credits, and it's a pretty nice deal.
