To me, the main reason for the Lower price looks like a clearing of stock of the US only Kindle. THey did the same thing when the K2 was coming out and the replacement is already here in the form of the International edition.
Withe the international edition, they now have a device that not only will work in the US, but will also work around the world. It makes more sense to slowly shift to making it the only reader i it size, as opposed to having two, and the resultant confusion for buyers as to which one to get as except for the radio, they are identical (As far as we Know).
They might introduce a cheaper, smaller device perhaps in the 5' screen range to compete with the Sony 300 and Astak Pocketpro at below the $200 mark.
We might also see a refresh in the DX in the near future to switch it to the GSM chipset, to align all its devices as world devices.
