I'm pretty certain that they simply mean that they'll sell the old CyBook in the same way they sold the old one, as a number of different "packages" with or without leather cover, spare charger, memory card, or whatever.
I hope you're right -- by "subscription" I meant a book-club like fee that would be required to get the reader hardware at a reduced price. For example, sign up for a one year, $6/mo club subscription and you'll get the reader for $350, but without the subscription its $450 (or whatever). I'd be much more inclined to purchase a device at that price WITHOUT a subscription.
