It seems that every time I make a purchase the price of the item soon drops, oh well I guess that it part of being any early adopter. Our Kindle was purchased when they arrived back in stock just about a month ago for $399. Lucky for us, the new price is just a little less, coming in at just about a 10% price cut at $359. The free two-day shipping offer also remains in place.
I really like the Kindle and have enjoyed using it, but still feel that $399 was a little on the high side, thankfully the now lower price is getting a little better, but honestly I would have still felt like I overpaid, even at $359, but at least this is a good start at the Kindle becoming more affordable.

Been looking at getting into this, but when your publishing area is comics…
Yeah. A price drop is great but the price is still pretty steep. Might be more worthwhile when it hits $250 or even $200. Either way a lower price would increase profits because more people would be willing to buy it. Also since most of the Kindle format book files cost less than they would in a hardcopy people would end up buying more of the Kindle books. Further price drop would be good for business, especially if they expand the book catalogue a lot more.
