I would not be shocked at all if they pushed the price to $49.99. That may hit a psychological barrier for a lot of people that makes it easier to buy one.

Kindle Paperwhite
Overall improvements in lighting evenness and contrast, mostly addressing issues with current model. I don't think they'll match the Aura's screen, though. I could also see a price drop to $100 in order to reduce gap with basic model.
You base this on what? I have no doubt Amazon will do just that, or better, assuming you are refering to the higher resolution.
