The ereader market is littered with the corpses of companies that tried to go down the high-end, high-price large reader route (Plastic Logic, Que). These companies were failing even before the iPad came out, though many of their problems stemmed from their inability to deliver quite what they promised.

Part of the problem is that there isn't much to improve right now. Adding WiFi was about the only option they had to 'improve' the 650, which is still pretty-much state-of-the-art at this size. Personally, I'd love to see a higher-end version with a 250+ dpi screen, and would pay for it, but that's up to eInk more than Sony
