As the ebook market in general grows, prices will decline.
Sony has to innovate. To sit on its current models or make small changes is to invite failure. Is their fear of failure so strong that they will play catch-up and go down the path of "me too" for the rest of the product cycle or will they take the lead and set the market direction again?
They did so many things right in the original PRS-500 it is understandable that they do not feel a lot of pressure to alter the basic configuration. If they had more books available then, if the books were priced lower, if .... When the 500 was introduced it was the finest reading device in the market. That has been challenged. I have no doubt that Sony can design and build the best reading device, the only question is, "Will they?"
