I expect its price will come down soon enough. Its a lot easier to drop prices than to raise them. Besides, look at how much Sony is charging for its new eReaders!
The way I see it, Kobo is not gunning to beat Amazon, they are gunning to be the Amazon alternative. In the US that means their primary competitor is Barnes and Noble and in other countries, I think they have even less competition. That being said, I have heard enough reports about issues with their software reader and their store, that I think they have a lot of work to do if they want to get and keep that number 2 spot.
That being said, I do like the looks of the black one
