I'm guessing they wanted the non-touch model to be at a lower price point, and they didn't see a market for 2 non-touch models. It would be Un-Sony-ish to have more than 3 models of a consumer electronics product, IMO.
I can see the casual reader going for the portability and price point of the 300, especially since Sony is pushing library support. Imagine people talking themselves into it: "It's $199, but I'll save money reading library books on it that I never have to go to the library to check out."
