I'm inclined to agree. I think ereaders are on a trajectory similar to that of MP3 players. Ten years ago there were many brand names offering a variety of MP3 players -- I, myself, was a Creative fan. As other devices expanded to include music and video playback the number of manufacturers (and models they produced) dwindled. There are still a couple "brand name" players, and there will probably always be a (niche) market for them, but it's a lot smaller.
