Since the nook just dropped to $200/$150 with the new Wifi unit recently introduced, and the Kindle base unit now being $190 as of today, are we going to see a price drop for the Kobo any time soon?

For many would be consumers on Engadget and Gizmodo, $99 is the magic pricepoint for eReader adoption. It would seem to me that Sony and the Kobo guys have a very small window in which to respond to these sudden pricing moves by Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

So does anyone think we'll see a price drop this month? Anyone from Kobo want to respond in an official capacity?
