Basic high school economics isn't rocket science people. And I realize most people don't look at Market Trend graphs for fun, but it doesn't take that step to realize Apple avoids sales like the plague and restricts individual stores from offering reduced prices via minimum price agreements (one reason why you see Gift Card give-a-ways as an alternative). If people want to believe insanely stupid things about finanicial realities... well I suppose there is a reason we just had a huge recesssion.
Anyways, back on track with the topic, I was simply pointing out that waiting for a sale/price reduction is kind of pointless with respect to ereaders at the moment. Anything can happen, but any tracing of historical sales data will hold up that concept, both with respect to ereaders and other devices in the same boat as they are now. I'm sure you'll see deals like the gift cards to encourage sales but for any consumer who believes a gift card to be equivalent to reduced price of the product probably is a text book case for how those kinds of offers have the exact opposite effect. You might save money waiting for them, but more than likely just spend more thinking you're ahead.
