If Kobo isn't taking too much of a hit at $50 or $60, then it might be worth it with the subsequent ebook bought on it. Or maybe there's no more strategy involved other than desperately unloading stock. Anyways, I managed to get a Mini for $50 and at that price it's a great secondary reader.

Best Buy is not helping them here.
