I remember the predictions of a $99 Kindle for Christmas 2010.

  Only 40USD off. That's what, 2 pizzas and sixpack? Pretty damn close if you ask me.

    It's also 40% off.

      Alternatively: The kindle 2 was what, 300USD? I think that's about what it sold for the majority of the time it was released. So a reduction from 300 to 100 is 66% off, while a reduction from 300 to 140 is a little bit over 50% off. If your guess is 66% off and actual is on the high end of 50%, that's not a bad guess in my book.

    It was $139 at the time of the predictions IIRC.

      Correct, the price on the latest generation has remained constant so far.
