I don't know much about the size of the market that something like the iliad needs to be successful, but the student market could potentially be quite useful. I have recently found out that the library at the University where I work is testing the iliad expecting that they could quite quickly have a large demand for material made available via the iliad. And there's a steady somewhat predictable flow through of students and therefore new students who could need an iliad.
