These type of articles are good to start debate and discussion, but the conclusions are pretty much irrelevant (as there are so many good points being raised here, beyond the scope of the article).
My opinion is that ebook readers market is just getting warmed up. I do think the LCD based ereaders have a bigger buzz (Nook Color/iPad to some extent) because it is in color and people like color. But if you only want to read a novel, it is much better to stick with eInk/epaper tech. We all know color eink will be coming out soon and hopefully, be on par with color/contrast/refresh of LCD in a few years.
And I do agree that 3DTVs is a fad. It is another way for TV manufacturers to charge more money for pretty much the same tech. But I can't get too mad at it since it forced the non-3D HDTVs to drop.
