9.7" is a lot larger than 6". My guess is that 9.7" is just too larger for too many people. Also, the fact that Amazon didn't update the DX might also have had something to do with it's failure plus the high price.

A 6.8" Reader can be sold for a reasonable price and 6.8" seems to be the sweet spot for a larger screen Reader.
