    I paid $259 for my Kindle brand new. Today they lowered the price of the Kindle to $189! That's fabulous.

    They lowered the nook today too. It's $199 with G3, and $149 with only wi-fi. hmmm...an e-reader pricing war?

    I'm not sure what is up with Nook but I hear that the Kindle 3 is on the horizon for maybe August.

    I wonder what the Kindle 3 will have that's different. Do you get updates for your Kindle? I received my 2nd one today. New features including going to a particular page. That was one of the big complaints. The last update was in April and that's when the nook became web enabled. I'm a satisfied customer since they seem to be addressing concerns and then sending us the fixes.

    I just got an update on my kindle a couple of months ago, that improved the font, increased battery life, and added a landscape option for the screen. There is supposed to be another one coming any time (I've been leaving the wireless on), but the only change I know about with that one is more font sizes.
    Now that the prices of the nook and kindle have been reduced, I'd like to talk my dad into getting an e-reader. If he got a kindle, I could register it and download a ton of military-oriented books from my kindle.
    I've got a backlog of books waiting to be read, there has been a good run of free books lately.

    I read yesterday that Borders is going to release their own line of budget-priced e-readers, hence the other companies dropping their prices. And as someone mentioned, the new Kindle will be out later in the year. We bought dad one for Father's Day and he's beside himself. He was always a big library user, but there are times when carrying/reading a book isn't feasible. My aunt said our library has e-reader downloads, so you can still access the books for free and after whatever the due date is, it just disappears from your reader. That's pretty cool.
