I had bad experiences with DR1000 and with my Pocketbook 903 and I do not recomend to purchase this product until firmware will be finished.
My two cents.

Lots of us share the same concerns.
Amazon hasn't been able to make a decent pdf reader out of DXG, it's never been updated even if it cannot do any reflow on pdf. That's ridiculous for a 9,7". Being a Kindle lover, you should know how lame is the DXG firmware, for a 379 dollars device.
No 9,7" with touch that I know has been developed like it should have been. enTourage ran ot of business like iRex, 903 has been left, Asus dr900 was born in Beta and is dying in beta, Boox M91S, we know...
I don't think Ectaco will shut down, but it's reasonable to think that the development of JBC is bound to how much it will sell. Even the giant Amazon hasn't been able to sell a good amount of DXG, at least not enough to invest in its developement (Or maybe it just shamelessly speculated on buyers trust.)
In the end,
you should just adddress your complaint to the ultra-consumerism ideology and its obvious consequences. Only problem is that debating over this HOLY topic (the Market God) from inside an ultra-consumerist society, is hard . Our own market-talibans' eyes won't accept any deviance from the
'Semper Buy' holy teaching.
