The only reason the hardware dropped as fast as it did was because Nook in June 2010 chose to price their ereaders at near (below?) cost and Amazon matched them.
Actually, in March 2010, Kobo announced their first reader at $149.00, for delivery in May. I still have mine, and it still works, if slowly compared to my AuraHD. I think it was Kobo's announcement that started the price cutting.
