Greeting all e-reader fans,

how do you expect the prices of major readers like those from SONY and Amazon are going to develop this year? Are there some new models from SONY or new Kindle expected? Or is it possible that Kindle 3 is aiming at 99$ threshold later this year, which SONY would hopefully follow with its 5" device?

It seems to me that with all that tablet humbug on CES, e-readers are slowly fading away. I'm the proud owner of old 505 and considering some touchscreen model like 650, but the prices of SONY devices seems unreasonably high (comparing with the Amazon devices or the others). Are there any pre-releases on new stuff?
