There is a market for a "large print" ebook reader, and for some people the largest practical font on the 6" devices isn't big enough. I don't think there is any doubt that the DR1000S has the potential to be the best large print ebook reader available, and even the high price (while excluding some) isn't necessarily a barrier because there are no good alternatives.

Does the new CyBook support ultra-large fonts (>72 points) ?.
The iLiad has the potential to be the 2nd best large print ebook reader, and with FBReader it may be better than the DR1000S today. What the Java MobiPocket Reader (on the iLiad or DR1000S) are missing is hyphenation for optimizing short line lengths but more importantly a good font at large sizes or an "everything bold" option (which is available on the Cybook and with FBReader on the iLiad).
