But when will they make a Kindle for the thrifty gentleman? Wait, I seem to remember a very cheap version of the Kindle that doesn't even require batteries. It's called a book. That's what I'll be reading until the price of Kindles comes down considerably.

Well, a $60 reduction is not <i>less</i> reasonable.

How is $299 more reasonable? When I think "plunge," I think 50 percent. This is only $60.

If the screen was bigger I'd like an iPhone to read books with e-ink. I'm very close to buying a Sony or Ditto or some e-reader.

It's a good question. The e-ink technology and the bigger screen makes the dedicated readers better than the iPhone for reading, but maybe not better enough for enough people.
