It has been rumored that the Daily Edition would sell for $400 (well, $399), but that price seems higher every time a new reader enters the market (the last one is the Nookie, that looks very competitive, and is going to sell for $259, just as the Kindle 2). When 6" devices were $299, a price tag of $399 for a bigger screen didn't seem so horrible, but now it looks less and less compelling, at least for me.

And how about the PRS-600 and PRS-300? Well, I wouldn't expect a price drop in devices so recently launched, but who knows. Maybe Sony is feeling the heat...
