Therefore I suppose any similar attempts (10-inch ereaders) would not be successful this year and later on.

Any thoughts?
One can only hope that the pricing of the larger devices comes down. I don't see how they will be able to compete otherwise. All of a sudden paying more than $500 for a 9-10inch e-ink reader sounds expensive.
