If I could get my booklight to cooperate with my Authors Preferred Text edition of American Gods, I'd be reading it much faster.
I think 150-200 for a good quality dedicated reading device (as in, the 5-7ish inch ones, not the huge ones) is more than reasonable. And even if more people buy the $99 kindle or whatever... it doesn't mean they'll use it. As gadgets go, $99 is around impulse level for people with a decent income. But Amazon wants book buyers. Not "I'll read a book or two than forget about it" buyers*... it seems hardly worth it, I'd think, for them.
*Wouldn't be the case for every purchaser, of course. But I'd think the risk is higher at that lower price. My opinion. Take it or leave it.
