I wouldn't be surprised if the new (touchscreen?) PRS-350 was priced at around the same point as the current PRS-300 was before the recent discounts, i.e. at about £125.
The other, smaller manufacturers would have to make significant and probably painful drops to compete with the Kindle price.
I see no incentive there for Amazon to drop their K3 prices.

You are forgetting Boxing Day as well. For non-UK
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day
It's after Christmas and this is a day when a lot of shops have sales just for Boxing day. It's the worst day to shop, everywhere is packed full of people.
I am hoping they become under £50 barrier. I will probably buy a new one when this happens.
And/or the price of the eBooks go cheaper than their paperback or hardcover counter parts.
