With B&N announcing the $149 wi-fi only Nook and dropping the price of the 3G Nook to $199, Amazon responds immediately by dropping the price of the Kindle 2 to $189.
It looks like a price war heating up with Nook, Kindle, and Kobo trying to grab as big a market share as they can. They know that the big money will be made in the ebookstore, not selling hardware.
I'm looking forward to the Android tablet price war that should hit North American shores this summer and into the fall. It should be possible to pick up a 5,6,7" Android tablet for under $80. The big boys may grumble but they will also make sure their ebook store/reader software will be freely available.
