Now that Amazon have reduced the price of Kindle, is it worth buying?
Answers:
I wouldn't, starting to look more like fad. I don't see this going past another year or two. Maybe that's why the price have reduced.
I love my Kindle 2 very much. If you are thinking of getting a Kindle, I'll say win it and you won't regret. Since Amazon provide books for the Kindle cheaper than actual books, it has saved me quite greatly of money. Right now I've read over 10 books with the Kindle, and I really like the opinion that I can bring and store all the books with the handy device. Besides, it uses the e-ink technology, it is really clear resembling reading books; and even I read with the device for long hours, I don't feel tired. My only complaint is the white defence, right now all the Kindles are in white color... I devise it will be cool if I can have a black or deep blue color Kindle ;)
I suggest you to read this review from a top reviewer who is also a book lover, it outlines quite seriously of benefits of the Kindle and also why it is worth especially at the end of the review:

I own the Kindle 2, so let me give you some of my opinions. I've to say aloud I love it! Actually I get it at the beginning of this year at a price $100 more expensive than it is now, but I still ruminate it is worth for that price... I've read over 30 books with my Kindle, no glitches so far!
One of the reasons I love my Kindle is that it has help me improve a lot on my efficiency and utilize my time. Before I hold the Kindle, waiting time like when I'm waiting for friends or waiting for shuttle bus or some thing like i.e. simply wasted. Now I just need to bring the Kindle 2 along near me, and all my favorite books are inside it. Another thing I like the most is the text-to-speech function, which ability I can "read" books without even holding or looking at the Kindle. Now I like to use this function when I've myself busy on some boring things, say when I'm on the step device or doing some housework...
I like reading and at the beginning I did miss a bit on the feeling of reading books. But presently I love to hold the Kindle, the e-ink seems to work very well, it is really close to reading books... Now I often read with the Kindle for several hours but I don't feel tired... And I very soon prefer to manage all books inside the Kindle rather than my never big satisfactory bookshelf...
And just in case you don't know, Kindle books, magazine and newspapers are cheaper than the actual paper version. Amazon also provides slightly a lot free or very cheap books. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I granted to buy it:
