Assuming they are not manipulating the sales rank to boost sales. Since they don't tell us how many DX's they sell, we have no way of knowing if the sales rank is truthful.
The best indication the public will have of how well the DX sells is pricing. If they keep the $489 price in the face of severe competition from iPad and all the forthcoming tablets, then there must be a sufficiently large market, even if it is a tiny niche in the big picture, to make at least one large e-ink reader economically viable at a price tag that puts it in direct competition with lcd devices that render pages faster, and in color, and can do a hundred things that the DX does not.
I'm betting they drop the price considerably.
