I'd pay good money for a reader with that screen! Isn't gonna happen, though. There seems to be simply no market for 9.7" E-ink readers, at least not a profitable one. Amazon has already bowed out by discontinuing the DX, Pocketbook only has VizPlex models, and the only Pearl one left is the Onyx Boox M92 (and their OEM the Icarus Excel).

The 9.7" is a niche product, with what little market there was for it eaten by cheap tablets. Alas. Like I said, I'd love me an M92 or DXG with a 2400x1650 screen, and would pay good money for it...

But there are simply not enough of us out there
