That's kind of how I see this. They may just be testing the waters. The next logical step may be the Wifi version goes to $99 with special offers, and the $139 version becomes the one with wifi and 3G, but no offers. That would make some sense to me -- especially in light of all the Android tablets that are going to be coming up. A $100 do-it-all Android tablet has the potential to eat into Kindle sales.
