The prices need to nose dive to around 250 or even round 150 ( the same as a iPod's... i know they are different technology), not only for the Gen 3 but for all units regardless of manufacturer.

Reading is itself rather a "niche" activity, so I don't think that an eBook reader will ever reach the same kind of sales levels as an iPod.
Prices are determined by the cost of the screen. I'm sure that will fall over the next few years, but at the moment, that's what they cost.
I don't think that the price is unreasonable, personally. It's pretty much the same price as one of the higher-end PDAs.
