I bought both my K1 and K2 at the original full price (wasn't it like $349?), and my mom's K2 for $299. I've never had buyer's remorse, and I'm quite happy to see the prices continue to fall, as that means more people can afford and appreciate the eReaders. If you were content to buy it at the price you paid for it, then why would a price drop affect how you feel about it?

When I first purchased my K1, I thought it was a rather frivolous buy. But a month later when I realized I was reading about 10x more than normal, I felt entirely justified in the purchase. I wasn't saving any money (I was spending more, in fact), but reading just makes me feel good (it does for the mind what daily exercise does for the body (or so people who exercise tell me)) and to have a device which took away most of the excuses I had for not reading more was well worth the money to me.
