He did say that, but it was always in order to get close to the $200 price point and it is now clear that retailers really want to sell EInk readers, see Pocket Pro Question. I think the days of single-site sales are probably over for ebook readers in the US (the Kindle excepted), and this is a good thing for sales volume. My prediction: shortages this Christmas season across the board.
