I agree for a single-use device, the old technology may be good enough, but there are a couple of things in a (hypothetical) new reader for $40 more that would make me regret buying one today:

-- audiobooks (and music, but mostly audiobooks) which seems to be in the Kindle at only $99
-- a built-in light like the new nook (which I haven't seen in person so maybe an external booklight would be just as good) which is a $40 upgrade from the base nook
-- a "With Offers" version available in Canada (the US version is $70 this week at Best Buy)
-- aside from any of the above features, perhaps another upgrade in the eInk, which would probably drive the current prices down again
