By some metrics Amazon is loosing out in the market share land grab to Barnes & Noble and they already have a tablet at the $169 price point. I think Amazon has to undercut them to make a difference.
Good point. Plus the Nook Color has been going for around $149 recently. Psychological pricing along with many consumers not knowing the Nook Color isn't on par with the Fire or the Nook Tablet gives it a sales edge.
