I've been doing some more e-reader research. Some new findings.
Onyx are planning to release a 13" e-ink device next year with a "flexible PVI HD screen" with 2200x1650 resolution:

They also have a teaser for a 13.3" model dubbed the Noteslate HERO:

There is also a prototype 13.3" device from Netronix at 1200x1600:

Current market status for ≥13in e-readers :
- Sony DPTS1.
- Onyx boox max. Vs its competitor: cheaper, heavier (500 vs 360g), open to Android Playstore, stylus only (finger doesn't work), has bluetooth and audio, a dozen format beyond PDF (epub, jpg, djvu...).
- Noteslate HERO doesn't appear on noteslate.com
iPads just don't use e-ink.

I'd try the Onyx... Android will allow you to display pretty much every file available. But are they readily available?

The problem is that most consumers have no need for large e-readers. There just no demand. That demand comes from the industry or maybe people with some academic background or persons who read a lot of scientific papers in general.
I also don't have a use for a big reader but a few years back, it would have been really helpful while studying... I had a Sony PRS-T1 back then and that was not of great use just because the screen was too small. Everything else was fine with it.
