Kindle 2 299
PRS-700 350

5 inch reader better come in cheaper than the Kindle 1, and based on specs alone. it should cost 160 bucks compared to everything else. as the kindle 1 price just dropped.

but the only price that's been stated by the clone by bookeen was $250.

and Barnes and Noble + Plastic Logic in 5 months + Direct competition with amazon. the prices will begin to fall further.

if the pocket pro shipped last month for 199. it would have been a great deal. now I don't feel it would be a great deal for less than 160
That's similar to how I feel. Not so much because of the refurbished Kindle 1 but with how easy it is to find new devices under 250 (either standard or on sale) I think the Pro is going to need to come in at 175 or under to be really competitive.
