Amazon couldn't even sell the Kindle DX. What makes you think they'll try that again?

It's not that Amazon couldn't sell the DX. They sold the DX alright. But they withdrew the product and instead focused on the size with the biggest margin--i.e. the 6" reader. They preferred to maximize returns rather than offer choice.
That's fine, but the problem is no other vendor dare enter the market to offer anything else because of Amazon's virtual monopoly. They have written off the American market.
