Unless it has an exclusive hot feature or they drastically lower the price. If it has KSO and free global internet, that would be enough to swing me. Many people still don't get the beauty of the KSOs. You can pay for a $249 Kindle by just taking advantage of a couple of offers. The free global wireless, priceless. Even a crippled tablet with a good browser and access to the Amazon app store with those two things would be worthly at $249.
I think @ $199 with either Amazon Prime or KSO would make it a good price. If they included Amazon Prime (as eluded to in the article), it would not only give users a free streaming library, but with free 2-day shipping buyers might look to Amazon first for their online shopping needs (if they weren't already doing so).
