Unfortuantely. or not... eReader pricing is on a race to the bottom. If Sony wants to continue to market the devices it has to compete on price. The low prices for the readers are why eBooks have finally gained traction.
I wanted to buy a 950 but the price deterred me. The T1 price hit my sweet spot. Higher priced eReaders are going to be for specialty cases. Reading comics, textbooks, etc. I might pay more for an eReader with features I really desire, but then I am not the average eBook consumer. I bought my first eReader in 1998, for $500... and I still use it occasionally.
