Is the $300 price a reality ? How's that different from the 600's price ? And why ?

So what will a Swede like me do?

However I like that Sony seems to put some money and work into the ereader market.
I have to agree, one more screen format doesn't help at all. If you put in landscape and display two "pages", what are those pages, 4" ?
Furthermore, this is one big reader that doesn't help with PDF viewing at all. And it puts us farther away from a decently priced international reader for technical books and the such, since it will be sometime till Sony thinks of new models now.
