I kind of thought that Alphapheemail meant that the 700 owners were afraid to leave reviews on Amazon.com because of attacks by Kindle owners, (since after all that is what I was talking about)?
I would think most PRS 700 owners don't write the reviews there - because they don't shop there (at least for their eReading stuff). Whereas Kindle owners don't really have a choice.

I'm surprised that an author tried to pass it off as her own cleverness.

I was just thinking though. The price drop on the 700 could also be due to a combination of two "complaints" I've seen from users here and there. (1) No alternate cases available for the 700, (2) and it doesn't come with a wall-charger.

I mean besides all the previous explanations - I think dropping the price $50 - might make people feel more comfortable purchasing the wall-charger (around $30). Kind of like Kindle owners buying a case (because the Kindle already has the wall-charger).

Cheers,
