Sony will still support LRF but not BBeB (DRM scheme). The PRS-300 is not discontinued, Sony will now go completely touchscreen with the new screen technology. They have also been able to remove the extra layer of screen between the touch so I can't wait to see if that completely eliminate any glare issues. Sony believes that touch technology distinguished them from the mass. I did participate in a private survey for Sony in June and there were quite a few questions on touchscreen versus wireless. Some of the questions that were asked was if wireless is important to you in an ebook device and also if you can choose between wireless or touch screen which one would you want your reader to have?
