That device was US$139 when released in August 2010. Black Friday 2010? Not sure. But a lot less.

And it should be way less today, because electronics with the same specs, if you can find them, go down in price.

But the specs are different. The price has gone down, but the specs have gone up (faster, higher PPI, better contrast, front light, ...). The latest Kindle is currently $89, normally $109.
