I concur.

My ebook reader device is a Tapwave Zodiac 2 PDA, running PalmOS 5.27. Tapwave went belly up in July 2005, but the device still works fine, and I have a spare in case. There are thousands of freely available titles I can (and have) converted for reading on it, and I generally get source material in a form I can read directly or convert conveniently. (I like HTML for that reason.)

The Sony Reader will likely continue to function long after Sony abandons it if given proper care, and lots of content will be available.

I need a device that does other things besides display ebooks, so a dedicated ebook reader isn't very interesting to me, but the fact that the manufacturer might abandon it wouldn't be a show stopper if I was interested.
