Perhaps if the eBookReader has bothered to notice that while there are quite a few eInk ereaders with screens larger than 8", the sales of them would qualify as a rounding error in Amazon's Kindle sales, I would be more impressed by their reporting.
The only two people I know who purchased larger format eInk ereaders have continued to use a smaller device for most of their ereading. Such things as portability and front lights make them more usable as day to day ereaders compared to their Onyx Boox Note and Remarkable devices. Though both are happy with their larger device for the purposes they were purchased for, the number of people willing to spend the money to own both sizes of ereader is not going to a very large number (IMNSHO).
Yes, Amazon shows the Remarkable as #14 on their Best Sellers in eBook Readers list. OTOH, they show The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 as #20 on bestselling ereaders. This doesn't give me much confidence in the usefulness of that page.
