Assuming that a new color reader is considerably more expensive than the current hardware not everyone will stop buying the old versions. And seriously, I think we can definitely expect further price reductions in the DXi. A lot of people will be in a holding pattern right now, anyway.
The only reason Amazon might not drop the price is if they are convinced that a vast majority of people will find the iPad very uncomfortable to read on for extended periods. That might very well happen, we will find out in a few months.
