I really wouldn't read any sinsister machinations into it. Sony Stores in the UK have also dropped the 650. It just doesn't seem to be available any more.

But, their ereader sales section has a quite a few makes, including the PRS350 "Pocket" but no mention of the "flagship" 650.
And the section heading kicks off with a picture, followed by :-
" eReaders from £69.99

Introducing our most advanced eReader ever... The wi-fi enabled Cover Story from iRiver is a heavyweight eReader with a featherweight design, weighing in at just 233 grams.

Waterstones sell a very wide range of readers; they've sold iRiver devices for at least a couple of years now.
