Think there are 10,000 people willing to pay that price?
Plastic Logic couldn't find them.

Yeah, for a front-lighted 2400x1650 9.7" reader with a touch screen and Wi-Fi, I'd pay that. But like I said earlier, whether there are enough people like me to make it profitable for someone to make them?

I don't think so, and the Plastic Logic fiasco pretty much confirms it. High-end tablets like the iPad and Nexus 10 rule that space (and I do intend to get a Nexus 10 if and when it ever gets sold here in the Netherlands, but for reading, it probably still won't replace my DXG).
