Except they know from watching iRex fail to make headway with that device that the price was way too high. Furthermore they will competing with tablet pc's and tablet style netbooks that are that price or lower already. I expect them to make a competitive advance against the Kindle DX and its price point. The Kindle DX is already overpriced for what it offers anyway. A little better software and a touch screen is really all the QUE is bringing to the table so it can't be that much more expensive than the DX to manufacture. In fact the plastic screen they are touting is supposed to be much, much cheaper to manufacture as it doesn't require silicon or glass.
