However, for my own personal choices, I find the 300 to be crippled, for the reasons stated. For one thing, I have a lot of books that I want to be able to carry around, and an expandable SD card slot is high up on priority. Battery changing is another important feature for me.

Oh I agree with that too. Given a choice I'd buy the 600 in a hearbeat over the 300. But I think a lot of people might be ok with less features for a cheaper price point (and not to mention comforted by the option of a higher priced model).
It reminds me of the tactic of the bread machines. I think it was Williams Sonoma. They had a $500 bread machine, and it didn't sell well. But the second they put out a cheaper, lesser model (I think it was $100 cheaper), they both flew off the shelves.
