To me an optimum solution would be a combination. Since I'm now paying .30 a day for kindlefeeder feeds, I'm already paying a monthly fee. Just not to Amazon. If I could get a kindle for $200, and a 2 year contract at something not huge for either unlimited date or a useful amount, I'd probably be ok with it, and make more use of my @kindle.com vs. my @free.kindle.com address
I wouldn't want a subscription for books. I like ownership, i want to own my music and my books (preferably DRM free, but it's not a perfect world).
$360 isn't super steep, but I think they'd fly off the shelves faster under $300. The combo of $360 and books only being slightly cheaper, means I'm buying a lot of books before I see the cost savings in owning a Kindle (i'm not address convenience, that's a win already)
