Your comment is only relevant if you are happy to accept a 20-inch display with the same number of pixels - in which case you may as well just use your current ereader with a magnifying glass.
A 50 inch 1920x1080 LCD has exactly the same number of pixels as a 24in 1920*1080 LCD- everything is just bigger. The higher costs for more glass, plastic, semiconductors is offset against the ease of having a lot more space to work with - so prices are not too different.
But compare versus a 50inch 4096×3072 LCD, and together with the increased visual quality, you'll see a colossal jump in price for all the reasons mentioned already - and that's exactly the kind of increase in size AND image quality you are talking about.
