There are definite advantages to having a 9" device, but I have to agree with Davimee, the majority of readers using eBooks are reading "just text" format, fiction and etc. Also, even though you'd be turning a page more often, you can get the text size to be incredibly HUGE on the 5-6" devices.
I think for a 9" venture, it would be a lot easier of course than creating a color tablet. At the same time, I think our image rendering on the gray scale would require tons of improvement. Also, like Elfwreck said, bigger screen, bigger problems with breaking and etc.
Since I can't speak for our manufacturer and all of my bosses, they could be very well scheming for a 9" right now. I'll let you know if I hear any news about it!
