It cannot be less than 500$ because 9.7 inch ereaders sell for 350$. So the reader with new technology and 1.9 times the area should be placed at more than 500$. Pricing it beyond 700$ will be an economically unwise decision. The production cost should be around 300$ for this device.
One other point: Market for this reader will be spread equally throughout the world. More than half of the consumers will have to pay import taxes. This will add another 100$ to the end price. Even a 700$ price tag will not be give good results. But i think it will debut at high price.

You start from the price of devices which include tax, so after you scale the price to the size you don't need to add the tax again.
The companies that make the 9.7" devices that retail for $350 have 6" devices that are more expensive than the ones that Sony makes, which is why you shouldn't use them as the initial value for your calculations.
