According to isuppli the glass costs $60, so this would give a cost of $120 for the 9.7 .

On the other hand, you can use the numbers fro the Kindle as a comparision and it tells you that a 9.7" device has 2.5 times the surface area of a 6 inch device. It would be surprising if a larger screen on a new technology is less expensive than the multiple of the area.
