The screen itself is not the biggest problem. It will be too late for this years release if Amazon starts the process of designing only now. It takes more effort than just blowing everything up and then certified and produced. Another thing to consider is demand. There would have been a successor to the DX already if that screen size is economically viable. What one company considers viable, another may not. It doesn't matter how much money you make if the profit margin is too low.
