Heh, I wonder how revealing the Sony sales really are, given how specialized their trade is and how *ahem* unusual their software stack (remember, only PDF).

13.3" is certainly a very narrow niche, but I think if you can offer a fair deal, it's about as wide as that for 9.7". If one goes for large, one goes for really large. That said, I predict in the long run all current 9.7" users qualify as possible 13.3" customers.

If you can pull this off at an affordable rate and less prototype'ish than the only current two other competitors, Onyx will likely make a head-start on tapping segments which were beyond the reach of a 9.7". I can tell for sure that 13.3" is just over the threshold of the professional sector: Engineering, science, construction, etc.

9.7" is too small for the folks which need technical stuff on a regular basis (as a physicist myself, I use the 9.7" for books, but those don't contain drawings to the extent, say, an applied researcher needs daily).

With a bit more work on Onyx' relations, you might even find funding by the educational sector and eventually make you a profitable deal for sales. At least here in Europe, where universities are often state-run, they spend millions of EUR on the silliest investments. If you do it right, it should be a piece of cake to have them invest in something as useful as a reasonably sized e-reader.
