I'm sure there's a market, but I'm not sure there's money to be made in it. Especially if the device is so limited that you can only transfer with Bluetooth via printing, not through USB mass storage or MTP.

The OP asked whether we would buy a large screen e-ink device that would read PDF and cost $100. Whether s/he can actually produce such a device at such a price is for them to work out. I'm pointing out that there is a market, particularly amongst academics and grad students. It may not appeal as a novel reading device (and I wouldn't use it as such) but that doesn't mean that it's not suited for other purposes. Pretty much all of the other responses only considered the novel reading audience.
