mobama, good to hear kindle is of no bigger significance in eastern europe. using public transport around central europe quite a bit i've recognized a lot of kindles, followed maybe by tolino devices but have hardly ever seen a larger device.
while the reasons for me remain somewhat unclear (ok, kindle has an aggressive price-policy and is easy to use for the average non-tech-savy user...) i personally see 6" devices as too small and inferior to the 8-10" class but since that is in quite an another league price-wise mass adoption will hardly be reached as long as there are sub 100€ entry-level devices available.
but before i'm further leaving the topic here, what do you mean with 'blow away the market'? do you mean that the availability of 10" devices would cannibalize the 8" segment?
as you mentioned the remarkable: besides being a bit too pricey for me i'm missing a frontlight and have so far little use for the sketching functionality. further, format support is unclear and pocketbook has a very good stance here.
lets see what the (near) future brings, i'll happily keep awaiting any new announcements in that direction and look forward to learning how the inkpad3 (if it'll materialize as claimed) competes with the icarus xl hd which i'll probably grab if the former is postponed or taking too long to hit the markets as i'm currently without any e-reader at all.
