They sold out long before Christmas at this price. I assume it will drop to $299 after a few months, but it will have to be in stock with no shipping delays for a while before that becomes likely.
Amazon is making a huge profit on the Kindle - they have no retailers taking a cut and the device probably does not cost much more to make than the Sony PRS-505. My guess is that the K2 is cheaper to make than the K1, as you say since they have not added significant capability it really should be cheaper to make.
