You can definitely see that sort of thing happening or other variations such as buy x amount of books and get a free reader eventually, perhaps people would buy a complete series by a particular author and they would get a free ereader with it.
I do think the $99 price (for e-ink or similar) could be psychologically significant enough to consumers that it will be the limit to the price cuts for the immediate future as the likes of Amazon and B&N won't want to rush into giving away the hardware until they have to do so though.
