And those people seem to be better served with Tablets.
They trade off battery life for color displays and application abundance.
Think of it as a feedback-loop; low demand keeps prices high, which keeps demand low because once the price of a dedicated reader gets high enough, tablets start to look like a more viable option.
The bulk of the "huge group of students and scientists" that large-format readers might appeal to tend to be pretty price-sensitive to start with, so the extra capability of the multi-purpose device is going to be more attractive.
