So now that there is a $150 Nook wifi and a $189 Kindle, how long before Sony follows suit? To be fair, they have cut prices on the PRS-600, which was $250 up until recently (with sales down to $200), but now is regularly priced at $200.

But the $350 tag on the PRS-900 looks downright comical after today's price cuts.

So, how soon does Sony cave? The talk around here seems to be they will have new readers out in fall, but I don't think they can afford the marketshare/mindshare loss between now and the fall that is sure to occur with today's pricing differentials.
