Amazon has effectively dropped the price of a Voyage by 40% in 9 months. Even by tech standards, that's a massively huge drop in a stunningly short period of time. For current PW2 customers, it is even worse.
Most companies have more respect for their current users, if only because they don't want their current customers to become former customers at the earliest possible time.
Amazon, evidently, doesn't seem to care about that at the moment. They will, though, as the Kindle ereader goes the way of the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire Phone.
