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.
Sony is listing the MSRP and destributors are selling them for much less. I got my PRS-350 for $116. That is not a rare price.
