Or this could indicate that current designs now meet all the needs of consumers as a book replacement. In essence then, the e-reader itself is now a commodity - all brands being more or less equal. Competition will move to content. That is, who offers the widest seletion and who offers features useful to consumers (be it DRM free or cloud sync etc.).
Expect innovation to happen on the content side.
