WORST IDEA 9/1/10: Sony revamps e-readers and increases prices

Prices of e-readers have fallen pretty consistently so it seems ridiculous that Sony would raise the price of its entry-level offering. It does have a touch screen now, which does not make it a better buy than an Amazon Kindle for $40 less, but it does make Sony's product the cheapest e-reader with a touch screen. that would be great if reading required a touch screen, but since it doesn't, I'll wait to buy one until a few months from now when Sony slashes the price around when Kindles come free with a magazine subscription.
