I can't see such a large reader being built with the current technology. The glass substrate is heavy and fragile. I have a 9.7" reader, and it's already difficult to hold for longer reading sessions. The screen, however, is only about half the area of a 8-1/2 x 11 letter-sized piece of paper. So, you would need a reader about the size of two 9.7" readers laid side by side for a 14" reader. It would also probably need a stiffer (i.e. heavier) case to keep the screen from flexing and breaking. The manufacturers probably tried and rejected such designs as impractical. If they could be built with a light, flexible plastic substrate, then a reader of that size might be feasible. Until then, I say don't hold your breath waiting.
