Chances are these are real. Why would anybody spend so much time, money and effort to come up with such misinformation? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If Sony wanted to throw in a red herring, they could have leaked some photos or design sketches, there was no need to create service manuals.

The question is, why would Sony replace a popular PRS-505 with something so obviously inferior. I hope the answer proves to be that the PRS-300 is the basic reader, really really cheap, Walmart style, and the PRS-600 actually does possess more functionality and appeal than PRS-505. I expect the prices to be in the $160-200 range for PRS-300, and around $300 for PRS-600, which is essentially a PRS-700 without a front light.
