My guess is that Sony is concentrating in the non USA market now to gain as much market share there as possible before Amazon finally makes it.

As I mentioned in Germany, Switzerland and France only the silver model PRS-505 is sold. I did not even know there are different colours available. The PRS-700 is not sold at all which upset some.

Taking the not so well received PRS-700 off the market means we (Europeans) don't feel cheated of the top range model, feel like being offered only the old stuff. We also don't need to hold back our purchase and wait for said more modern device to appear here.

Reducing the colour options means steam lined production so prices can be reduced.
