B&N is not doing well in terms of cash flow. So I doubt they can go lower than 80 bucks or even lower than 100 bucks.
The prices of the directly competing models, the Nook STR and the Kindle Touch without ads, are the same so I really don't see this as Amazon having broken any new ground on pricing with these new e-ink models, though the color model is interesting.
