I don't think a large screen color e-ink reader is going to happen.
The DXG is probably a massive failure. It is too expensive for most people and deemed to be too heavy by a decent number of folks. They prefer the 6 inch screen. I just don't see that there is a market for a 10 inch color e-ink reader. If the DXG is not selling well, and the lack of updates over the course of three years indicates that it is not selling well, imagine how well a 10 inch color e-ink screen is going to sell given that it is going to be more expensive then the current model.
I can see the 7 inch LCD screen devices taking off and being used for magazines, but they can be used for a lot of other things as well.
I don't think most folks are worried about the battery life, they recharge every night. I don't think that there are so many people that read mainly magazines who would rush out to by a $400 color e-ink screen just for reading their magazines when they can spend $150 less and get devices that do more.
