Amazon should have not invested into that product, because the tablets are taking over now (Android baby - hell yeah!). I still see, that there is a place for current e-readers in the market, but the kindle products that are out now would do fine in that category.

That's extremely debatable. A larger screen lets you see a lot more text at once; a 9.7" screen, such as the Kindle DX has, has over 2.5x the display area of a 6" screen, and displays about the same amount of text as the page of a hardback book - many people find that preferable. Tablets are generally heavier, with a much shorter battery life, and are also often significantly more expensive, too, and portability is really not an issue if you're reading at home.
I certainly think there's a market for this device.
