I use a tablet now to read magazines and I don't really enjoy the reflection or running out of power all the time. I like to be able to go a couple of weeks without recharge!
There used to be a Kindle DX. Now there's not. Instead, Amazon has the Kindle Fire. I expect that tells us all we need to know about how big that particular market is.

Even with the Kindle Fire, Amazon has stopped making premium models and are focusing on fairly basic, super inexpensive models. On the high end of the pricing scale, you pretty much just have the iPad and Windows 10 2-in-1s.
