In my opinion, dedicated eink readers are a niche market. A large screen dedicated eink reader is a niche of that niche. Anyone who thinks Amazon (or anyone else) would make buckets of money by (re)introducing a large-screen dedicated eink device is deluding themselves, in my opinion. They're projecting their niche wants onto others.
Eink technology has maxed out its usefulness. It will take a brand new screen technology that leverages some of the advantages of eink--while still being technologically and financially viable in traditional, mainstream screen applications--to shake things up. Anything that doesn't do high-resolution, smooth-as-silk, color video will remain niche forever. Not dead. Just one size-fits-all, what-you-see-is-what-EVERYONE-gets niche.
