People aren't abandoning dedicated e-readers, the market is stabilizing. With tablets, there is always a tempting new model, with dedicated e-readers, the new model is much less tempting: it already does the job quite well, enhancements just make less difference than with a tablet.
The dedicated e-reader market is unlikely to go away. It has too many advantages. My wife's tablet needs to be plugged in about every day. My Kindle 3 needs recharging perhaps once a week. MP3 hasn't driven the CD player off the market, and tablets won't drive dedicated e-readers off the market.
