Barnes & Noble Nook

Great news book readers. The two major e-readers have finally gone down in price. If you were waiting, like me, to buy a Kindle or Nook then now is the time.   Amazon.com on Monday slashed the price of its Kindle e-book reading device to $189 just hours after Barnes & Noble cut the price of its competing Nook e-reader to as low as $149.   “We’ve got a price war going on,” says Rob Enderle, tech industry analyst at The Enderle Group.   The primary beneficiaries: avid book readers who were wavering about going digital with their summer reading.   Early Monday, Barnes & Noble cut the in-store price for its original Nook, which has both 3G and Wi-Fi, from $259 to $199.   That was not surprising, considering lower-than-expected sales of the device, says Enderle.

The book retailer also announced a $149 price for a Nook with just Wi-Fi purchased online.   Amazon quickly followed Barnes & Noble’s lead by dropping the price of the Kindle from $259 to $189.   Amazon asked for $399 when it launched the Kindle in 2007. Do you think you will now break down and buy one?   Which one?   I am going to do a little more research and I will let you know when I decide.
