I suspect strongly that you are right. My girlfriend was really looking forward to a themed reader and I think she's going to be sorely disappointed soon. One free book isn't worth limiting oneself to a specific colour either.
As long as the plastic bezels on these readers are not glossy like they are in the (largely computer generated/touched?) product shots, I think this new reader looks the bees knees.
EDIT: Just watched the YouTube video posted in the specs thread. The bezel doesn't look glossy at all. Will be interesting to see how it comes with a reading light shined on it though. Video is here:

EDIT 2: Now that I've actually read the press release, I
don't think you are right! Surprised the price is the same, but nevertheless this is how it reads:

Sony's first offer in collaboration with J.K. Rowling's eagerly anticipated Pottermore website (www.pottermore.com) is a specially-created Reader Wi-Fi with a Pottermore promotion (PRS-T1HBC) which includes a voucher that enables Harry Potter fans to download free the first Harry Potter eBook title, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, from Pottermore, when it becomes available.
