PL is betting that they've finally found a market where they can offer a unique value. Clearly the selling point is that the price of the reader can be amortised over several years during which the school can avoid the cost of replacing textbooks that have been damaged by the kids.

But when Amazon doesn't even bother to offer the DX for sale in the UK I very much doubt that Plastic Logic is going to waste its efforts trying to get this into retail channels. How many are going to buy this at the £300-350 it would cost after tax and retail markup?
