It depends on what we each mean by "large" and "small".

My baseline for "large" is the current eink reader market where 6" readers from the major vendors run at 1 million units a year, minimum, and the top brands run in the 10 million a year range.

Conversely, "small" to me is an order of magnitude lower, with 100,000 units a year or thereabouts. Which is probably larger than current 10" reader volumes.

Now, a couple years back, sales of 20,000 a year were something to brag about and 100,000 a year was big. But the market has grown a lot since then. And it is going to keep growing once the european markets get real.
