When the device was announced, it was told that the device will be 'priced competitively to Kindle' or something like that. I think the phrase might have given people the impression that it will have a similar price as Kindle. If it is the case, it can be considered 'cheap' since it has bigger screen than Kindle.
But I think it can mean anything depending on the basis for comparison. For example, if they charge the same price per square inch of the screen, the device will be much more expensive than Kindle but they can still claim it is 'priced competitively'.
