I think we will see an ebook reader and an ebook store from Apple, but not for a couple of years, at least.

I agree. I think when we have a screen that's easy to read and power saving like e-ink but is also color and fast enough to support more variety of applications, we'll see Apple in the market. I don't think it will be a dedicated reader. I don't think dedicated readers will be with us long term. I'm guessing that when the technology gets better, we'll see more multifunction devices that are great for reading.
