That's major league wishful thinking. First, as attractive as it is to a developer, users generally don't go in for a subscription model for an app. Second, I think that you are off by at least a factor of 10 in your estimate of users. I would be pretty surprised if 3000 people paid the one time $5 price for Marvin. Your most likely target audience might be closer to 100 if the app is real good and most of those wouldn't go for a subscription scheme, since being a professional reader isn't exactly a high paid profession.
A programmer who has the business knowledge and skill to write the sort of program that you want, is likely to be able to make a lot more money in a traditional programming gig. You talk about 30K, but someone with that skill set in the US can command in excess of 100K.
