I might be in the minority here but I kind of hope that Sony continues with its current strategy. If i'm going to be spending weeks of my life staring at and using a single device then in the long term i don't really see the initial price as that much of a factor.
When i was choosing my first ebook reader i went with the PRS-650 just because it offered the best reading experience possible. If they didn't lower their prices with new models but kept improving the aesthetics and screen technology then i'd be happy. If racing to the bottom of the price point means cheaper quality readers then Sony kind of loses any advantage they might have had.
