By the way, When i saw the topic i thought discussion was going to be on preferred Screen size for large ereaders. I feel 9.7 inch is small and 13.3 would be a bit large. I want to see a 11-12 inch ereader in the market.

I just didn't think that anything bigger than 10 inch was available, with e-ink.
If it is, would you tell me the make please?
As for making a 13 inch reader for E-ink: My impression is that this would mean slow graphics, books taking minutes to load and new pages flickering whileloading. That's apparently the issue with those large readers that are on sale in Russia - forgot the make. There are some rather offputting reviews on Youtube, suggesting that they simply don't put fast enough hardware into the large-screen devices. In order to perform flawlessly they need better spec components. E-ink screens just take more power to generate the output, I guess!
I guess the market just isn't big enough to create a real a la carte model that BOTH has a large screen, AND fast components.
I'd certainly be willing to pay what it costs, but it seems I am in the minority. Most people want a budget device and it's hard to produce quality large screen e-ink cheaply.
