I think that's making Amazon out to be more evil than they are (not that they are angels). They made a larger e-ink reader and chose not to containue it. Since Amazon doesn't seem to turn its nose up at profits, I am guessing that the DX didn't sell as anticipated.
As another user mentioned (DiapDealer, credit where credit is due), those clamoring for a larger than 6" e-ink reader are a niche of a niche.
