This isn't rumour, it's reality. Sony is 102% more expensive than a functionally similar Kindle.
The rumour is Sony will provide a refresh of at least two existing eink models next month. Hopefully one of the refreshes will be price.

In your opinion... it's a free world and many of us disagree so if you think your machines are functionally the same as Sonys, fine but so what... I've had a Kindle, I've got rid of a Kindle... didn't like the feel, the size (didn't fit my pockets so unable to easily take around with me) and the unwanted keyboard not to say the company tied DRM/format. The Kobo and the Nook are irrelevant outside the US basically so thanks but I'll stick with what works for my needs and I'm sure others will... oh, your Sony prices are also wrong as far as the UK is concerned - they're cheaper than that even with a 20% sales tax included...
Hey... it isn't rumour it's reality...
