True, but there is a market there. Some people want a larger device. Just look at the iPad theme "the experience."

Frankly except for the screen and a larger case, there doesn't have to be any new development. The case is nothing as these things go. The extra screen area, and the reduced volume that will be sold is the only real factor.

I believe that Amazon will bring out a new 10" (or so) screen reading device, but that is not their main concern right now. The main concern is the smaller, much higher volume devices.
