I'm not.
Those Kindle prices are for the Special Offers versions; not that I object to the ads, but the versions without them are US$109 and $139, respectively.
The real threat is that the entry level Kindle is narrower than the PB360 and not much taller, with edge-mounted paging buttons, wifi, and a 6" screen. That... is physically comparable to a 360. Factor in that hacked Kindles can run versions of FBreader and coolreader3 (and Kindles have an app store) and the comparison becomes tighter still.
Much more delay in refreshing the screen tech may render it a moot point.
As is, the Kobo Touch is headed your way in a few weeks, no?
