IMHO, when Amazon dropped the price of the Kindle 2 to $189 they created a price expectation they can't retreat from. They appeared to drop the price in response to B&N dropping the price of the nook to $199 and introducing the nook Wi-Fi at $149. Sony e-readers are also already at $149 and $199. Unless the Kindle 3 has some incredible, never-before-seen technology or to-die-for features, they can't possibly price it above $199 and expect to sell any. Graphite and Pearl e-ink just won't do it.
