I am still waiting for a large screen offering or a truly advanced screen substrate.
I can see the 300 being a $199 entry level model. This undercuts the Kindle and competes with the minor brand ereaders.

I can see the 600 as a $299 replacement of and improvement on both the 505 and the 700. This offers a head to head competitor for the Kindle, giving the user a choice between the Kindle's whispernet or the 600's touchscreen.

Then maybe there's the 900, at $399. The 900 might compete with the KDX in terms of screen space, but have a smaller overall form factor, with a touchscreen and possibly wireless connection to the computer.

Plus an improved screen all the way around, and some new software providing for things like choice of font style. And just possibly, an expanded bookstore alliance.
