I'm not quite sure what, if anything, can be inferred from this news, but I was speaking to the Waterstones PR team today, regarding a story I've been writing up for Register Hardware (probably online tomorrow), and they tell me that they're reducing the price of the PRS-300 to £99 tomorrow (Tues, 10th August).
Whether that's simply a tactic to counter the Kindle, or to clear out in advance of a new model, I have no idea. It's certainly interesting, and gets a branded reader below the £100 mark for the first time, I think.
