I don't think anybody'd be able to afford what they'd have to charge to make it a profitable endeavor.
Asus. They single-handedly created the even nichier (?) market of netbooks.

And why not google? They could have a nice big fat app of their own, selling books from their own store. Call the thing a Nexus Reader and give it good hardware with a comparatively low price, like the Nexus 4 phone. $300 for the 9.7 inch version wouldn't be a bad price.
