I agree with some of the people that think the kindle 2 is still very over priced. I just bought a prs-505 for 150 from the sony deal a few weeks ago and that includes shipping. These devices shouldn't be more than 150-200 dollars , if netbooks are 200 dollars, this thing should be at or below that. It's just that these are still NEW devices , but with flood of new eink readers coming out soon, the prices should go down. Just like HDTV's prices have come down from 3,000 to 4,000 dollars for 42inch 4 years ago.
Amazon has added incentive to get people to buy their books, so price could come down.
