Amazon drops the Kindle price to $189 to compete with the iPad

Amazon announced a price drop down to $189.00 USD for their Kindle eBook reader. Supposedly, this is in response to the popularity of iBooks on iOS devices and the reduced price of the Barnes & Noble Nook eBook reader. Previously, their Kindle sold for $259 USD, but the 3G Nook at the $199 USD price point was enough to instigate Amazon to go into competition mode.
