Just wait. Amazon and Barnes & Noble have just started a price war with their Kindle and Nook respectively. The Nook came down in price last week and Amazon quickly slashed the price of the kindle to $189 to remain competitive. Hopefully it'll start to have a knock on effect on markets outside of the US too.
