DigitalAmazon Drops Kindle 2 Price to $299: Is a Kindle Killer on its Way?By Todd Ogasawara|July 9, 2009 ShareBy Todd Ogasawara|July 9, 2009 Share Image courtesy of Amazon.comI’ve long said that my “magic” price point for Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader is $199. But, I have to admit that I’m very tempted to buy a Kindle 2 at its new lower $299 price. But, honestly? I’m still not convinced that I read enough books per year to justify a Kindle even at its new lower price. After all I spend most of my “sitting still” time either at work or writing this blog. In other words, I spend a lot more time writing than reading 🙂Tell you what, Amazon. How about meeting me in the middle with a drop to a $249 price point by this fall? I would definitely give it a strong purchase consideration at that price. And, if it gets to the $199 area, the order button may be pressed.But, tell you what, Amazon… If you wait too long, a firm like Apple may come along with a product that redefines both the netbook and ebook reader market and the Kindle may be kindling. The window of opportunity for grayscale ebook readers may be shorter than you think. Adweek Adweek
