Changing a single component between different batches is child's play for any modern production facility, in all likelihood the pocket edition and the touch edition will also be getting made on the same production line too since it costs a company money whenever any production line isn't working.

And while e-Books are a growing market, They are still no were near the numbers for Computer or MP3 Players, so having to Tie up capital in assets for a specific region, without being able to redirect as per demand does not make sense.

By tying up capital in assets are you talking about a situation where they have x,000 european readers in a warehouse when they need more of the american model? If so, then I think you are overestimating the amount of completed product that modern businesses tend to keep.
If you are talking about them having more of one radio than they need then thats unlikely to be an issue since both sony na and sony eu will be ordering specific amounts and even if it was a global device they are independently of each other and as such you wouldn't have one stealing away devices from the other one's order.
